Luka Doni was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 1 .

The 25-year-old is the first international superstar to be the face of the franchise.

Doni missed out on the display case of the 11 championship rings the Lakers won in L.A. The Lakers are banking on Doni to fill that display case with even more rings.

L.A. Lakers traded P.J. Tucker , Mo Bamba , a 2030 second -round pick and cash to the Utah Jazz for Eubanks and Mills .

James and Doni had texted before the game, Doni says, with James offering him the honor of being announced last in the starting lineup.

" Luka 's been my favorite player in the NBA for a while now," James said after the game.

L.A. Lakers' first game after All-Star break cut Doni 's break short short.
