Luka Dončić's max extension with the Los Angeles Lakers makes him the new front-facing star of the team -- not LeBron James, an aging superstar playing the final years of a future Hall of Fame career. Still, James remains "supportive" of the franchise's move to lock in Dončić at three years and $165 million, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic has gotten his way this summer. The Lakers have catered to the five-time All-time Star by selling a majority stake of the franchise to Mark Walter, upgrading their frontcourt with the addition of Deandre Ayton, and signing a defensive-minded 6-foot-3 former Boston Celtics star in Marcus Smart.
