Showdown: James said his partner Doncic is full of challenges, but he is still worried about the deal

The Lakers were eliminated in a 1-4 1-4 clearly highlights the fact that trading Doncic with thick eyebrows is indeed a failed business. In an interview with the media after being eliminated, Lakers star James finally showed up. He bluntly stated that his partner Doncic is full of challenges and he is worried about the deal.

James said: "When we made the trade to introduce Luca, the whole style of play changed. We changed our game to maximize the adaptation of him. We played around his game. When you complete such a heavy deal, it was always challenging. In the first few games we sometimes didn't look good, but after playing more games later, we solved the problem late in the season. I still think we didn't have enough time to get in. I think it's good that we could end the regular season with the top three of the Western Conference. We all know how hard the West is, that's a good test for us. We went through some challenges, but in the end there was such a player full of dynamics for any team." Obviously, James' attitude was very clear. Doncic is the Lakers' first ball holding point at the moment. He and Reeves both have to sacrifice the ball to play around Doncic. In fact, this is true, but after the Lakers were eliminated, James is so honest, and Doncic seems to have to take the blame for the exit.

Not only that, when asked whether the team's large-scale use of centerless lineups since the trade has affected the physical distribution of this round of the series, James said: "I will not comment. I never talk so much. My buddy AD said what he needs, and he will leave in the next week. So, I have nothing to say. I put on the game every night, and I gave everything I have. That's the most important thing." Although this passage is not long, he can clearly feel his dissatisfaction with the Lakers' management trading thick eyebrows. It's no wonder that the Lakers management did not solve the problem, but solved the person who raised the problem. However, Doncic's arrival brought a lot of problems, and getting out 1-4 is paying for the transaction.
