NBA Insider reveals Luka Doncic effect has $8 Billion franchise believing in championship run

Luka Doncic

Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Luka Doncic, the mood around the franchise has uplifted. This is because the Slovenian has been consistently good in attack for his side. Despite his poor start, Doncic made amends and formed a great chemistry with LeBron James and Austin Reaves in less time, leading them to the NBA Playoffs in style.

Notably, NBA insider Jovan Buha also provided some interesting details regarding Doncic’s addition to the team. He went so far as to claim that Doncic has made the franchise believe that they can win the 2025 NBA title. It’s safe to say that Doncic has had one of the best impacts for his NBA side coming out of a mid-season trade deal this season.

I think Luka really gave this group a true belief they could win the championship this year. I think they were trending that way before the Luka-AD trade.

Jovan Buha said on the “Buha’s Block” podcast

In terms of the Los Angeles Lakers’ chances of reaching the NBA Finals, Buha ranked them second in the West. LeBron James and Luka Doncic together give the Lakers the star power to make this placement seem justified. The star, 26, adapted to the system with ease and successfully turned the team’s offense into an efficient machine.

The Slovenian was able to inspire his teammates to reach their full potential. The Lakers were able to establish themselves as an actual threat in the West and rack up some significant victories thanks to this trait. However, they are far from finishing the job as they now face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

However, the Lakers fans seem optimistic going into the series, mostly because they have Doncic. The same Doncic that single-handedly knocked out the Timberwolves and their star Anthony Edwards during last year’s Western Conference Finals.

The Los Angeles Lakers finished their season (50-32) in the Western Conference. In a few days, they will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Notably, their star Luka Doncic, who is not known to have a big social media presence, clarified his views regarding the playoffs on his socials.

Doncic posted a mix of enthusiasm about the Lakers in the days leading up to the playoffs. It energizes fans to cheer for the Lakers before the playoffs by showcasing the top regular-season performances of the current group. Doncic’s message was straightforward and was emphasized by two emojis: an hourglass and a muscle.

The Lakers’ star man anticipates that his side’s strength will be evident as the playoffs draw to a close. However, it won’t be an easy task as they face a motivated Anthony Edwards, who led his side to the Playoffs towards the end of the 2024-25 NBA season.

Luka Doncic’s foundation made an exciting announcement via their social media

Luka Doncic has been one of the best players ever since he arrived in the NBA years ago. Over the years, he has made himself a great name and much fame in the sport. So much so that he has his own ‘Luka Doncic Foundation.’ About this, Luka Doncic’s foundation made an exciting announcement, with the Slovenian reposting the post on his Instagram story.

Big news! We’re teaming up with @JrNBA and @positivecoachus to bring our Total Hoops Approach into their programs and clinics. Basketball should be fun, meaningful, and accessible for every kid, and we’re making it happen!

Part of what infuriated Dallas supporters about Doncic’s trade was his community service. This most recent statement is just another example of the Mavericks’ tribute video, which featured multiple instances of him performing community service.

Last April, Doncic further cemented his status as one of the NBA’s most philanthropic athletes by winning the Bob Lanier Community Assist Award.
