Luka Doncic got a new ally for the battles under the ring

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed experienced center Kevon Looney to a one-year contract worth $3.9 million. Looney, who previously played for the New Orleans Pelicans, brings three NBA championships from his time with the Golden State Warriors. His role with the Lakers is to support star player Luka Dončić by providing stability in defense and creating more space in offense. The team recently acquired Walker Kessler in a high-profile trade from the Utah Jazz, paying $130 million over four years for the young defender. However, Kessler faced health issues last season, playing only five games due to a shoulder injury. Looney’s addition addresses the need for depth at the center position, especially in the Western Conference, where teams like the Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans, and Sacramento Kings have tall frontcourt players. Looney himself had a limited season with the Pelicans due to a knee injury but was known for his durability before that.

LeBron James has announced a decision that has surprised many.

LeBron James is leaving Doncic.

LeBron James, ameriški košarkarski velikan, je predstavil svojo odločitev o odhodu iz Los Angeles Lakersov, kar je povzročilo razmerje med njim in mladim slovenskim igralcem Luke Dončičem. James je vodstvo obvestil o svojem odhodu in napovedal, da bo svojo 24. sezono v NBA odigral za drugo ekipo. Njegova odločitev je bila vplivana na lanskem porazu Lakersov v polfinalu zahodne konference, kjer je podvomil o svoji prihodnosti. Klub je želel obdržati Jamesa, a priznal, da je prihodnost franšize odvisna od razvoja Dončića, ki bo v februarju 2025 prišel iz Dallasa. James, ki ima več rekordov v NBA, še vedno čuti strast do košarke, kljub temu pa ni določil svoje prihodnosti.
