On July 5, when the Lakers got Doncic through trade in the middle of last season, he had become the absolute number one star that the Lakers valued the most, and even paid more attention than James. Now Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean joins the Slovenian men's basketball coaching staff for the second time, in order to better help Doncic and understand his situation.

Compared to James, who is 41 years old in less than half a year, the 25-year-old Doncic is the future of the Lakers. James was not notified when the Bass family sold most of its shares, but Doncic received an early notice, which shows that the Lakers attached more importance to Doncic.

When James released the execution player option through his agent Ritchie Paul this summer, it was rare for the Lakers official to have no response, and it seems that the Lakers management is secretly "wrestling" with the James team.

However, now the Slovenian men's basketball team hires Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean to join the coaching staff to prepare for the upcoming European Men's Basketball Team.

Lakers assistant coach St. Jean is joining the Slovenian men's basketball coaching staff for the second time. This naturally means that Doncic will be accompanied by Lakers assistant coaches every day to provide him with help, which will also allow the Lakers to better understand Doncic's situation and also show the Lakers' importance to Doncic.
