Doncic, the "golden boy of Europe", was recently traded to the Lakers by his old club NBA Mavericks without warning, shocking the basketball world. Lakers star "James Huang" James said in an interview after the game on the 5th that he is looking forward to playing side by side with Doncic, "This will be special, we will attract many people's attention." ”

The Lakers, Mavericks and Jazz completed a three-way trade, with the Lakers trading Doncic, Kleber and M. Morris, the Mavericks getting A. Davis, Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick, and the Jazz receiving Schifino, a 2025 second-round pick from the Clippers and Mavericks.

"It's like a whirlwind." In a brief post-match interview, James said, "It's definitely challenging, especially for me, I've worked with AD for six years, won a championship, won a championship with our team-mates, and he's obviously my best friend. "But knowing it's a business, you know that, it's a basketball business, we understand that. ”

"Luka is a big-stage fighter who hasn't reached the peak of his career yet, and he's already done some amazing things in our league." "I'm happy to have him and I'm happy to have him in Los Angeles, which is still a bit surreal to be honest," James said. ”

When James was interviewed in the lounge, the media at the scene asked if the Lakers had an eye on the future in trading Doncic, to which James responded, "Is there a problem? If I had any concerns, I'd drop the non-tradable clause and get out of here. But I'm still here, I'm loyal to the Lakers, and I'm here to help Luka and Maxi make the transition as short as possible. ”
