James wants to see Doncic playing for the Lakers after he retires, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN."I think ... I don't think, I know, Luka knows how I feel about him. And ultimately, that trade happened for the future. That's not for me. Luka has to decide what he has to do with his future. He's [26] years old, I'm 40, so he can't be basing his career off me. That's just real. But I hope, obviously, that he stays long term. Laker fans love him here. L.A. has accepted him. We love him as a teammate, as a brother. But ultimately, he's got to make a decision for him."
