For months, publicly and privately, the Lakers have been signaling their desire to begin the Luka Doncic era in Los Angeles, even if it meant ending the LeBron James one.

Giving Doncic the keys to the car and letting him know about the team's sale, while leaving James in the dark, has reportedly rubbed the four-time NBA champion the wrong way. Doncic's manager, Lara Beth, clarified that her client has no issues whatsoever with James. In fact, he has enjoyed sharing touches with the former No. 1 overall pick.
