Magic Johnson says Anthony Davis will re-sign with Lakers, also wants Luka to join Lakers

"Anthony Davis now is known across the world because of the platform of the Lakers. Then, him and LeBron [James] next season, they could repeat," Johnson said.
"You don't want to leave here, and not have a guy like LeBron James playing alongside of you because the same thing that happened in New Orleans would happen to Anthony Davis again. They make each other better, and then last but not least, when LeBron retires, he just says, 'here Anthony Davis, it's your team now, you go on and lead the Lakers to the next five to six championships.'"
Johnson makes some fair points, one being that Davis has a great setup with James to continue competing for titles. If he goes somewhere else, he will have to start over with no guarantees he will ever find a teammate as great as James ever again. Davis, of course, left the Pelicans last summer in a trade in part because he wasn't happy with his supporting cast.
Take a look at the teams with cap room and Davis would have trouble finding a chance to contend for titles right away. It's teams like the Hawks, Kings and Knicks that could afford him.
So, stay put, Johnson says and when James leaves, the Lakers can surround him with stars. They have long been good at attracting free agents, if that's the route they choose.
One young star in particular was brought up by ESPN's Max Kellerman: Luka Doncic of the Mavs. Doncic is not going to be a free agent anytime soon, but Johnson signed off on the idea.
"Luka come on to the Lakers, I like that," Johnson said.
That should be no reason for Mavs fans to panic, at least not yet. And good thing Johnson doesn't work for the Lakers anymore, because that sounds like tampering.

They can take Luka out of Mark’s cold, dead hands. In 3 years.

AD hasn’t even won a real championship. Bubble rings don’t count.

Let’s be honest, great job by the Lakers this year. Tip o’ the cap. But, not, saying they wouldn’t have won without the long break, but it most definitely helped them. Immensely.
Bit After Lebron and AD, they may have the worst roster in the NBA. It’s duct-taped together with 86-year-old Rondo and the ghost of Kyle Kuzma in his senior year of high school. I have no idea what kind of cap room and flexibility they have for next year, but there is zero chance that roster can repeat.

Come on over Luka
In HS great athletes become good basketball players.
In college good basketball players become great
In the NBA great players become stars.
With the Lakers stars become Legends.
Time for Luka to follow in the footsteps of others before him and become a legend

It is like they're purposefully trying to destroy the appeal of the NBA.

I think you have to have them as the favorites as of now.
Gonna be tougher next year and there's bound to be some bad luck, but to write them off would be way premature, IMO.

That's a minimum 100k fine
