Pretty soon Luka Doncic may steal Kevin Durant’s nickname of “The Slim Reaper” if he continues to drop weight this offseason. New photos surfaced of an even skinnier Doncic that should make Los Angeles Lakers fans giddy for next season amid all the LeBron James drama going on.

Doncic has been enjoying Europe this summer as he usually does, but this time with a whole new diet. The last time we saw him he looked like a whole new person.

Meanwhile, his teammate LeBron was spotted dancing his behind off at a Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico and getting rowdy with Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green.

While all that sounds like normal offseason activities, things have gotten bitter with the 40-year-old James and the team after it was reported the Lakers met with the 26-year-old Doncic about building around him and didn’t involve their biggest star for the last seven years. He also wasn’t informed about the change of team ownership while Doncic was.

As reports are flying that the team could be getting ready to move on from the NBA legend, new pictures of Doncic surfaced and they are stunning.

That should thrill Lakers fans and it will be interesting to find out just how much weight the 6-foot-6 and 230-pound Doncic ends up playing at. Will it be with LeBron, though?
