According to Dallas Hoops Journal reporter Ashish Mathur, sources revealed that Doncic hopes LeBron James can end his NBA career with the Lakers.
James will earn $52.6 million next season, which will be the last year of his existing contract, and Doncic's wish will be fulfilled if he retires after the 2025-26 season. However, sources said that if James chooses to continue playing in the 2026-27 season, Doncic hopes that the NBA's all-time scoring champion can renew his contract with the Lakers in the summer of 2026.
Sources said that Doncic enjoyed the experience of fighting side by side with James last season and believed that the Lakers have the strength to compete for the championship in the new season.
