The Los Angeles Lakers have looked rejuvenated in their last few games. Whatever head coach JJ Redick is doing is clearly working, as they’re now on a 3-game winning streak. New signee Luka Doncic and his partnership with LeBron James are huge factors. However, it’s not just going forward; the Lakers have also been brilliant defensively. Amidst all this, a national reporter has come out to reveal JJ Redick’s plans in the long run. And if Luka’s fiancee’s Instagram is anything to go by, it seems he’ll be sticking around for it.

ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin appeared during the pregame coverage of the Lakers’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on ESPN to give us this scoop. “You’ve got to give a lot of credit to coach JJ Reddick for being able to find a defensive identity with this group, as they’re still trying to get things integrated on offense with Luka Doncic,” he said.

He continued, “Now the beauty of it is they have a defensive identity, and it allows Luka Doncic to not feel all the pressure to be the guy to keep things going. He can kind of find his way to fit in with this group, so long as he’s giving the requisite effort on the defensive end.” What McMenamin is getting at is that Reddick’s tactics are opening up Luka’s game in less than a month of him joining the Lakers.

With Luka Doncic racking up 7 steals and 3 blocks over the last two games, Dave’s assessment is spot-on—Luka’s defense is no joke right now.

But let’s be real, he’s not just locking in on defense—he’s dominating on offense too. He just dropped a triple-double against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, and before that, he torched the Nuggets for 30+ points.

Meanwhile, JJ Redick is proving himself as an excellent coach, seemingly unlocking even more from Luka’s game. And honestly? Luka probably doesn’t mind at all—especially with how happy his family seems in LA.

Luka Doncic’s fiancee Anamaria Goltes gives us a glimpse into their first month in Los Angeles

Doncic and his fiancee have been together since 2016, ever since they met in Croatia. They’re partners in everything they do, so it wasn’t a surprise that she moved to LA alongside Doncic. And it seems Anamaria Goltes is enjoying life in LA. Well, not just her.

In an Instagram post, she shared several pictures of their family’s first few weeks in Los Angeles. This included an adorable picture of her and Luka’s daughter, Gabriela, playing on the beach. But there were also pictures of Anamaria out and about in the city, clearly enjoying life in sunny California.

And one picture makes it clear that the Doncic family has moved on from the Dallas Mavericks. Anamaria also shared a selfie of herself donning a Lakers hat. And Mavs fans in the comments expressed how much they missed them back in Dallas. But what’s done is done, and Luka and his family seem to be happy with their life in LA.

Luka’s chemistry with his new teammates continues to grow, and he’s showing shades of the juggernaut every NBA team feared back when he was in Dallas. And with his family acclimating well to life it’s seem this the Lakers’ latest superstar is here to stay!
