Luka + LeBron = Lunacy.

The only thing more outrageous than the trade of the former Mavericks star to the Lakers is the reaction to it. Luka Doncic has played two games with his new team, and already people who know better — Hall of Famer James Worthy and Fox’s Colin Cowherd to name a few — are claiming he and James are the best duo in the NBA.

Please.

Let’s first remember the context. We are talking about the present. James and Doncic are the most talented and accomplished tandem. No argument.

But they are not the top pairing right now. That title belongs to the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray until further notice (Sorry, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown).

James and Doncic have played two games together, making eye-widening passes and fallaway 3s. And yet, there are obvious red dots on this cashmere sweater. Both need the ball in their hands to dominate. And they are defensive liabilities because of age (James) and effort (Doncic). Luka will likely match up with the opponent’s worst offensive player instead of LeBron. Neither can switch. This is not an issue in February. But it will be in April.

A larger sample size will provide a better read, but after two games, James and Doncic have combined to average 36 points, 11 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 1.5 steals and a plus-5 rating. Compare that with Jokic and Murray over the last 34 games: 51.6 points, 15.9 boards, 16.2 assists, 3.4 steals and a plus-15.6 rating.

With Murray getting his groove back, the bar remains high for James and Doncic. Again, this is not a debate about talent. It’s about fit and production. The Lakers duo has to prove it.

Playing in Los Angeles is a great multiplier. But don’t believe the hype or type (ESPN Bet made the Lakers the second favorite to win the NBA championship behind the Celtics). Luka, 25, was acquired for the future to become the face of the franchise.

The Lakers stole him in what will go down as the worst trade in sports history. The Nets received more draft compensation for Mikal Bridges. Say that out loud without laughing.

Just because Doncic was a gift does not mean it is time to abandon common sense. Luka and LeBron are legit. But they are not better than Murray and Jokic.

End the Chase: The Rockies are notoriously patient with their prospects. But fire-breathing Chase Dollander, barring an awful spring, must break camp in the rotation. He is the team’s most talented pitching prospect since Ubaldo Jimenez. Let him learn to deal with altitude in the big leagues while providing hope for a franchise with no chance unless a future labor agreement includes a salary floor and cap.

Golf’s Goof: The ongoing battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf is awful for the sport. The first round of a recent LIV event averaged 12,000 viewers on FS2. The Tour is doing OK on CBS, but the product is diminished without Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. As much as sticking it to the LIV golfers makes sense — they bolted for money — the parties desperately need reunification for the health of the sport.
