The Los Angeles Lakers demonstrated their commitment to the future with the blockbuster Anthony Davis-Luka Doncic trade. In response, franchise legend Magic Johnson shared high praise for Doncic and his potential impact on the team.

Lakers great Magic Johnson was fired up after hearing the news on Sunday and he shared his feelings about the move in a number of tweets. In one, he compared the trade to when the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani in free agency.

Johnson called it an "awesome trade" for the Heat, who pried away Andrew Wiggins and a first-round draft pick from the Warriors. Just as important, they rid themselves of a player in Butler who had been suspended three times in recent weeks for conduct detrimental to the team after demanding a trade from Heat president Pat Riley.
