The post in the story also reported the background of the discussions between LA and Luka Doncic. On Saturday night, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that the Lakers met with Doncic and believed he could become the face of the franchise.

"The Mavericks approached the Lakers recently and offered Luka Doncic, sources tell ESPN. Lakers brass met and believed the 25-year-old Doncic has the ability to be the face of their franchise for the next decade while giving Anthony Davis a win-now move in Dallas," Charania wrote.

Another ESPN analyst, Tim MacMahon, also shared a report about the Mavericks facing concerns about moving forward with Luka Doncic.

"The Mavs had major concerns about moving forward with Luka Doncic due to his constant conditioning issues and the looming commitment of another supermax contract extension this summer, sources told ESPN," MacMahon wrote.
