LeBron admits he didn’t believe about the Doncic-Davis trade

When LeBron James subbed out of 1^st quarter of the eventual 122-97 victory against the Clippers and sat on the bench, he had a new teammate sitting next to him in the spot Anthony Davis occupied for seasons.

The new superstar in LA, Luka Doncic, landed in the city last weekend, and now he is with his new teammates despite not being on the court yet.

“I still need time until I completely realize that everything is real, but after I sat next to Doncic today and saw Anthony Davis’s video of shooting with his new teammates in the Mavs,” LeBron shared after the victory. “That is the moment when I started to feel that everything is real.”

The fact that LeBron talked for the 1^st trade about the trade in the Lakers locker room at Intuit Dome meant that the superstar is ok with everything that went on in the past few days.

“If I had a problem with it, I would have waived my no-trade clause and left Lakers,” LeBron claimed. “But I’m here and will do everything possible for us to succeed.”
