Luka Dončić's max extension with the Los Angeles Lakers makes him the new front-facing star of the team -- not LeBron James, an aging superstar playing the final years of a future Hall of Fame career. Still, James remains "supportive" of the franchise's move to lock in Dončić at three years and $165 million, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

LeBron James reportedly congratulated Luka Dončić on his three-year, $165 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers during a Saturday morning FaceTime call, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.

LeBron James is still monitoring the Los Angeles Lakers’ moves, according to NBA insider Dave McMenamin of ESPN. LeBron wants to compete for a championship next season.
