What LeBron James told Luka Doncic right after shocking Lakers trade

While LeBron James was “taken off guard” by the blockbuster Luka Doncic deal, he wasted no time reaching out to his new teammate and welcoming him to the Lakers.

Essentially the entire world aside from Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison was taken aback as Doncic was shipped to Los Angeles for Anthony Davis.

It was a three-team deal with many moving parts, and even the third team’s president, the Utah Jazz’s Danny Ainge, was shocked at the details.

While surely overcome with emotions and surprise, it didn’t take long for Doncic to hear from perhaps the greatest player of all time after the news broke that the two would soon be teammates.

“[James] called me right away,” Doncic told reporters Tuesday at his introductory press conference with the Lakers. “He said, ‘I understand what you’re feeling.’”
