The Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night for one of the most highly-anticipated divisional matchups possible. Superstars Steph Curry and LeBron James faced off in the NBA Finals for four consecutive years between 2015-18, so it is always a show when they meet for a rematch.

Those rumors have been put to bed following the blockbuster trade to welcome Luka Doncic to the city of angels. A new rumor has taken its place, which is that James may demand a trade as the Lakers are seemingly gearing up to make Doncic the next face of the franchise.

Dismiss those calling it a move solely for the future of the franchise, because Luka Doncic + LeBron Davis adds up to a pair basketball savants who can contend together immediately.

The Lakers’ acquisition of Luka Doncic was the biggest move of the week, even if plenty of other teams were also able to improve.
