Pelinka Applauds Doncic’s Loyal Team…

In today’s game, keeping a superstar happy is as crucial as making sure your coffee’s hot in the morning. That’s why the Lakers and Luka Doncic have clicked better than tongue-testing the sweet side of a sour patch. Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka have rolled out the red carpet not just for Doncic, but also for his entourage, including agent Bill Duffy and manager Lara Beth Seager. This relationship is as solid as a sumo wrestler on a trampoline—an unshakable bond that leaves past tensions with the Dallas Mavericks in the dust. Pelinka threw praise like confetti at Doncic’s team, applauding their support.

Doncic’s summer workout regime seems to have been planned by a superhero costume designer, because his transformation left the Lakers inspired and ready to whip into superhero shape themselves. The Mavericks might have considered this overzealous, but for the Lakers, it’s like finding a four-leaf clover every Thursday. With new Lakers owner Mark Walter being a ‘huge’ Luka fan—possibly bigger than a whale on stilts—there’s every chance Doncic will be shining in L.A. gold longer than a Hollywood blockbuster’s uncut director’s cut!
