Big Men Around The NBA Are Reportedly Lining Up To Play With Luka Doncic

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a star leading the way dating back generations, and after a brief run with LeBron James, it's Luka Dončić that's now the face and the future of the organization. This season, the former Mavericks point guard has been on fire, averaging 34, 8, and 9 as the Lakers have cruised to a record of 28–18 in the brutal Western Conference.

Around the league, people have continued to take notice, with reports now emerging that big men around the league would do anything to play with No. 77.

“Big men will do backflips to be able to be in that Lakers uniform paired with Luka. I was talking to an agent who’s got a big man who may or may not be on the move, and he would love to get his guy in L.A. Big men are going to want to play with Luka that much, I can assure you.”

This should come as no surprise, given the type of player that Dončić is to play with, especially for a big man who wants a point guard to make his life as easy as possible night in and night out on the floor.

As of right now, it's unclear how any of these big men get to L.A., whether that's via a trade or free agency, but with the Lakers desperate to fill their center position long-term, the hope is that one of these players becomes available to pair up with Doncic moving forward.
