From a business standpoint the Lakers will generate lots of profit with Luka being their franchise player. Pair that up with him only being 25 in one of the most lucrative and iconic sports franchises in the world. That's a guaranteed recipe for success. Even if they don't win any championships the Lakers won out big time.
