The Lakers have confirmed the opening of the Doncic era!

Four days after the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, Craig 's reserved a position for four VIPs: Lakers' rising point guard Luca Doncic; his long-time agent Lakers general manager Robert Pelinka; and coach JJ Redick.

LeBron James is the core of every decision and strategy of the Lakers over the past seven years, and he has not been present.

Redick, Pelinka and Siegel enter through the front door and Doncic enters through the back door. But all four came out of the front door, where a group of paparazzi and fans found them and filmed videos that were immediately uploaded to TMZ and social media. Doncic even stopped to sign some autographs before leaving.

"This message has been warmly welcomed. "Since we came to Los Angeles, the Lakers' leadership team has been very welcome and supportive of Luca," Siegel told ESPN. "In the past few months, we have spent a lot of time talking and getting to know each other, and we have built a strong working relationship. When you work together, you will win the championship. We all have the same goals.

When the party stepped out of the front door, the team informally revealed the message: it was ready to usher in the Luca Doncic era in Los Angeles, even if it meant giving up the LeBron James era.
