LeBron James Breaks Silence on Luka Dončić Trade—Could This Extend His Career?
The Los Angeles Lakers made one of the biggest moves in recent NBA history by acquiring Luka Dončić, and now, LeBron James is finally addressing the big question—could this trade extend his legendary career?
At 39, LeBron continues to defy father time, proving he’s still one of the best players in the league. But as he nears two decades in the NBA, speculation has grown about how much longer he’ll keep playing. With Dončić now in LA, many believe the move could take some pressure off LeBron and keep him on the court for years to come.
In a recent interview, James didn’t shy away from the question.
“Luka is special, man. His IQ, his playmaking, his ability to control the game—it’s next level. Having a guy like that on your team, it definitely changes things. We’ll see what happens, but right now, I’m just excited to share the court with him.”
While LeBron didn’t directly confirm whether Dončić’s arrival would extend his career, his excitement for the new pairing is clear. With Luka taking on more of the playmaking duties, LeBron could preserve his body and focus on delivering in key moments—just as he’s done throughout his career.
NBA analysts are already buzzing about the potential impact. With Dončić’s elite scoring and passing, the Lakers’ offense could become even more dangerous, allowing LeBron to play smarter rather than harder.
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on this new Lakers duo. Could Dončić’s presence give LeBron a few more years in the league? Time will tell—but one thing is certain: Lakers fans have plenty to be excited about.
