It is virtually unanimous throughout the national media the trade that sent the Lakers Luka Doncic was a major heist.

Doncic, who arrived in the stunning trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks, will now be the face of the Lakers' franchise moving forward. He'll partner with LeBron James to create a dynamic duo in the present but make no mistake, this is his team now.

Instead of hastening LeBron James' departure, Luka Doncic's arrival could actually extend his tenure with the lakers.
