The Luka Doncic trade remains an unbelievable calamity. The Dallas Mavericks gave up on a franchise superstar at 25 years old, despite just coming off a run to the NBA Finals, and gave him to the Los Angeles Lakers basically for free.

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic could reportedly sign his contract extension before reporting to the Slovenian national team on Aug. 4.

The Houston Rockets acquired Kevin Durant this summer and can offer him a two-year, $122.1 million extension.

While he was initially shocked over the trade that sent him to Los Angeles in early February, he has seemingly gotten over those emotions. According to Dan Woike of The Athletic, he has given several signals that he intends to stay with the Lakers long term, including his assistance in recruiting center Deandre Ayton and now guard Marcus Smart.
