Davis Still Texts the King, Despite Trade Shake-Up…
It’s been two months and Laker fans are still pinching themselves after the jaw-dropping deal that sent Anthony Davis packing to make room for Luka Doncic. While folks expected AD to lead the Lakers into a post-LeBron future, the allure of the 26-year-old wonderboy from the Mavericks was just too tempting for the Lakers brass to resist. Now, with all the speculation and banner headlines, one big question looms large: Did LeBron have a sneak preview of this script? King James claims he was caught off-guard alongside everyone else.
Anthony Davis, as unruffled as LeBron’s hairline, spilled the beans that their bromance is tight as ever. Marc J. Spears of Andscape snagged a chat with Davis, who laughed off the whispers about LeBron’s insider info. “Business is business,” shrugged AD, while texting his ex-teammate with the kind of nonchalance normally reserved for ordering pizza. The duo, once conjoined at the jerseys during their six-alley-oop-and-a-half seasons, now find catharsis in the ping of a text message rather than a chest bump.
With LeBron owning up to a clumsy turnover and the Lakers wobbling after a buzzer-beater heartache from the Bulls, one thing’s for sure: The LeBron-AD partnership might’ve traded locker rooms, but their bro-ship is going straight to the Hall of Fame.
