The Lakers are eyeing bold future moves that could reshape the team around Luka Doncic in a stunning way, according to one insider.

The Los Angeles Lakers have made it clear they plan to build their future around Luka Doncic. But the organization’s ambitions may stretch even further. According to Lakers insider Dan Woike, the possibility of pairing Doncic with another generational talent such as Giannis Antetokounmpo or Nikola Jokic has been discussed. However, the odds of a trade are slim.

Woike cautioned that any pursuit of Antetokounmpo or Jokic would require unusual circumstances. Both players would likely need to signal a strong desire to join the Lakers to suppress interest from the rest of the league. Even then, Los Angeles’ current trade assets may not be enough to compete with other offers.For now, both stars are under contract with their current teams. They are also expected to remain there for the 2025-26 season. Antetokounmpo has a player option for 2027 and has recently expressed openness to leaving the Milwaukee Bucks following another early playoff exit. Jokic’s timeline is similar, with the Denver Nuggets star potentially becoming a free agent in 2027 if he does not sign an extension.
