Team Note: Doncic is eager to become one of the best players in the Lakers history and maintains communication with LBJ during the offseason

Lakers Anthony Irwin wrote an article about some of Doncic's offseason situations, saying that the latter's goal is to become one of the best players in the Lakers' history. Here are some of the contents.

Doncic's new chapter in the Lakers did not start as expected, and the team was ruthlessly eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. Doncic is now starting to train hard and has become popular on the Internet for completely changing his body shape. Doncic is not satisfied with this. He aspires to be one of the best players to wear the Lakers jersey, knowing that he needs to meet high standards both on and off the court. This summer, his work ethics and determination to work with management shocked the entire Lakers organization. Not only is he preparing for the new season, he also focuses on his long-term development in Los Angeles.

"He is too good to just stand aside after the pass," said a Western Conference scout. "The defenders should be nervous every second he plays. If they aren't nervous, it's his responsibility."

Regarding James, the source recently reiterated that he and Doncic have been in communication since the summer, with the focus on how to improve each other. Despite the constant speculation about James' future, the two superstars are looking forward to fighting side by side again next season.

Doncic's commitment to the Lakers is not only reflected in renewal, but also in the way of renewal. He signed the contract at the first time, without any drama. A week before signing, people familiar with the matter unanimously insisted that he would sign the contract extension.

"This is an important signal," said a source close to the team. "He never intended to leave, he wanted the entire league to know what he promised to us."

As the Lakers were ready for Antetokounmpo, Jokic or other stars who might be unhappy with the status quo in the next year or two, Doncic's quick contract renewal was seen as sending a message to other stars: they could come to Los Angeles and join a superstar who was at his peak.

This summer, Doncic, as the Lakers' face, tried to recruit players, calling Ayton and Smart respectively. Both chose to join the Lakers after being bought out, and said Doncic played an important role in their decision. If he can successfully sign two influential players with limited financial flexibility, he will undoubtedly be an important attraction in the Lakers' future big signings.

As the new face of the Lakers, Doncic enjoys a lot of privileges. He had interviewed Good Morning America and discussed his fitness process. This kind of exposure is not common to professional athletes, but it also brings great responsibility. During this full offseason, Doncic cherishes every opportunity and goes all out to meet the challenge.
