The blockbuster trade of Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers is similar to MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani and his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, at least if Magic Johnson would be asked.

Luka Doncic's Lakers debut marks a new era for a franchise that has given its fans a reason to cheer for a player who is better than LeBron James.

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.
