Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill and fantasy basketball analyst Dan Titus discuss the options for the Lakers superstar as he heads into next season - with a player option waiting for the 2026-2027 season and the potential of a $400 million deal on the horizon.

With the Los Angeles Lakers reorienting their plans around Luka Dončić and 2027 cap space, LeBron James finds himself in uncharted waters. For the first time in his career, he's not the focal point of his franchise.

Luka Dončić will be living his best life this summer. I hope, anyway. He seems like a nice guy. We deserve happiness. BUT IS THAT GOOD?

The Los Angeles Lakers may be on high alert as Luka Doncic's thought process on his future may be different than expected.

The Los Angeles Lakers acquired Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks in February. It was arguably the biggest blockbuster trade in NBA history. Behind Dončić, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves, the Lakers finished last season as the third seed in the rugged Western Conference.

A new era has dawned in Dallas. Things look different from when Luka Dončić took the Mavericks' identity with him when GM Nico Harrison gave him the big ole stanky boot. And it is just his luck that Dallas' new day didn't just come with two over-the-hill superstars, but also a young potential superstar.

We're likely to see a lot of extensions being signed in the coming days and weeks, but the terms of those deals aren't quite as clear.

Former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton offers strong praise for Luka Dončić in his first comments since joining the Los Angeles Lakers.

Donnie Nelson, the former longtime Dallas Mavericks executive who helped build the team around Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Dončić, believes the two franchise icons should have been treated the same, and weren’t.

Luka Dončić is eligible for a four-year, $223 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers on Aug. 2. That may seem like eye-watering money, but the superstar could end up with a far bigger payday if he plays his cards right.
