It only took a few days for Los Angeles to embrace new Lakers superstar Luka Doncic following his arrival from the Mavericks.

Lakers president Jeanie Buss recently opened up about the circumstances of the Doncic trade and confirmed that Doncic had no idea he was being dealt and that he had unfortunately just bought a house in Dallas prior to the news.
