The league keeps on giving one banger after the other. When the Los Angeles Lakers got rid of D’Angelo Russell, it was believed that this was it for LA. But their latest shocker has left even LeBron James short of words.
According to reports, LeBron experienced a whirlwind of emotions when he learned about Anthony Davis’s earthquake-like trade. We recently learned that the Lakers sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Luka Doncic. Fresh off a win against the New York Knicks, James was enjoying dinner with his family when the shocking news broke.
According to sources close to him, the superstar was completely blindsided. He was evidently running deep into emotions, as he had formed a dynamic duo with Davis since 2019. Both of the big men led the team to an NBA championship.

The reaction also coincides with widespread speculation about James’ active participation in the team’s roster decisions. Many believe that the Akron-born superstar directly communicates with the front office and shares insights with general manager Rob Pelinka. This trade was different, and it appears that decision-making did not involve the usual channels.
