Robert Horry on Lakers chasing Luka Doncic: “He ain’t the one to stay in shape”
Rumors have suggested that the Los Angeles Lakers might target Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic for the post-LeBron James era. Lakers great Robert Horry, while recognizing Doncic’s exceptional talent, expressed doubts about his fit with the Lakers.
“You got to think about this, Luka is going to be how old (when his current deal expires)? Like 31, 32?” Horry said on the Big Shot Bob podcast, via Jesse Cinquini of Lakers Daily. “He ain’t the best defensive player now and that’s the Lakers problem.”
Horry continued, “You gotta have some athletic guys that can play some defense and Luka, he can score with the best of them, but we also know you gotta take beers out of his hand because he ain’t the one to stay in shape.”
Doncic, currently under a five-year, $215 million contract with the Mavericks, is set to remain with Dallas through the 2026-27 season, with the final year being a player option.
