Los Angeles Lakers veteran forward LeBron James has had a long-standing “dream” of playing alongside Luka Doncic, a vision he’s nurtured for years, according to Brian Windhorst.
“LeBron has dreamed of playing with Luka Doncic for years. This is something he never thought but badly, badly wanted. When Luka was deciding where he was going to go within Nike, LeBron pressed him very hard to come to his shoe brand … he was trying to recruit him then, he saw a vision of them playing together,” Windhorst said during an ESPN segment.
James was reportedly unaware that the Lakers were discussing a trade involving Doncic.
The Lakers reportedly reached out to Rich Paul after the Mavericks approached the team about a potential deal for Doncic.
“I haven’t spoken to him or heard from him but I have to assume that he will have a lot of excitement because he has dreamed of this and I’m sure he never thought it was going to happen in his career,” Windhorst added.
