Title LeBron James' Evolution From Trade Shock to Seamless Transition with Luka Doncic
INGLEWOOD, California - LeBron James has finally come to terms with the shocking trade that saw Anthony Davis, his close friend and teammate for 5 1/2 years, depart from the Los Angeles Lakers. The top scorer in NBA history was initially in disbelief, spending two days grappling with the idea of forming a new partnership with Luka Doncic, who has earned James' admiration.
I've always tried to play the game the right way and inspire the next generation, James said after scoring 26 points in the Lakers' blowout win over the Clippers. Luka happens to be one of them, and now we're teammates. So it'll be a very seamless transition.
Like many fans, James initially thought the trade was a joke when he learned about it last Saturday night while at dinner with his family in New York.
My emotions were all over the place, James said. The first time I heard it, I thought it was for sure fake. I thought it was a hoax. But AD FaceTimed me, and I talked to him for quite a while. Even when I got off the phone with him, it still didn't seem real until I saw Luka today, and then I saw the clip of AD at the Dallas shootaround. That's when it finally hit me, like, 'This is real.'
With his record-tying 22nd NBA season underway, James has often said that he's seen everything possible to experience in the league. However, this trade has changed his perspective.
Ain't never seen this, James said. I haven't. I've seen it all, up until this one. I've never been a part of a transaction like that. That was different. ... It was shocking when I heard the news, but at the end of the day, I understand the business of basketball.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, and James is determined to persevere in Los Angeles despite Davis' departure.
When asked if he was worried about the Lakers' focus shifting to Doncic and younger players, James replied, What's wrong with that?
If I had concerns, I'd have waived my no-trade clause and got up out of here, he added. Listen, I'm here right now. I'm committed to the Lakers organization. I'm here to help Luka and our young guys grow and learn.
Several teammates also felt the impact of the trade, including Austin Reaves, who has played alongside Davis for three years.
The last couple of days has been tough for me, Reaves said. I feel like I had an empty pit in my stomach, just because in the last four years with AD, three years with Max, you create real relationships and bonds, and out of nowhere (they're) on a different team, competing and doing what they want to do.
The acquisition of Doncic has been a topic of discussion across LA. Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar praised the Lakers' move, praising his countryman's exceptional talent.
He's obviously a superstar around the world, not just in Slovenia, Kopitar said. For our country, being so small, everybody knows him. And it was a big deal, I know from what I heard from back home. It's nice to have him here.
Overall, James is focused on embracing this new chapter with Doncic and helping the Lakers continue to thrive.
