There is a bit of concern about whether new Lakers superstar Luka Doncic will sign a contract extension soon enough.

The Lakers were considered no better than a second-round team in the Western Conference before Doncic’s arrival and now they have catapulted to the No. 2 seed, going 11-2 since the trade.

It came as a shock to Luka Doncic when he got that call late at night that he had been traded from the only NBA team he'd ever known, the Dallas Mavericks, to the Los Angeles Lakers. Quite understandably, Luka was emotional not only about the trade itself, but about the suddenness and secrecy with which it was carried out.
