Los Angeles Lakers president Jeanie Buss recently sat down with ET’s Cassie DiLaura at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Running Point,’ a comedy series that she is also an executive producer on. The show, which will be available for streaming on Netflix starting on February 27, is loosely based on Buss’s own life, providing a unique peek behind the curtain into the world of the legendary sports franchise.
During the interview, Buss couldn’t contain her excitement about the Lakers acquiring Slovenian superstar Luka Dončić in a historic trade with the Dallas Mavericks. In a bold move, the Lakers traded away star players Anthony Davis and Max Christie to bring Dončić to Los Angeles, a decision that has left fans buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming season.
Buss praised Dončić’s talent and expressed her admiration for the young player’s skills on the court. With Dončić now donning the purple and gold jersey, the Lakers are eager to see how his addition will impact the team and their chances for success in the upcoming season.
As the Lakers continue to make bold moves and shake up their roster, fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the season to see how the new lineup will fare on the court. With the addition of Luka Dončić, the Lakers have signaled their commitment to success and are ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead in the competitive world of professional basketball.
