Marcus Smart on Luka Doncic recruiting him for the Lakers:

"I'm very excited. I didn't believe my agent at first when he told me that Luka had contacted him and was very interested. To be honest, I said, 'You're kidding. I'm always a troublemaker, you must be messing with me.' But he said, 'No, I'm serious. We need to sit down and talk about this. This can work. I was shocked. But for LuKA to have that kind of rallying cry, to be able to say, 'I want this guy,' and to think that I've fought him for so long, and now to finally be able to fight alongside him, I'm very happy."
