LeBron James breaks silence with heartfelt Anthony Davis goodbye after blockbuster trade
NY Post
LeBron James has finally broken his silence.
The all-time great took to Instagram for the first time to acknowledge the bombshell trade made early Sunday morning, where his Los Angeles Lakers sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks Luka Doncic as part of a three-team deal.
It became, overnight, one of the most stunning sports transactions in recent memory.
James posted on his official Instagram Stories, “Love you my dog!! Go crazy over there!” he said of his longtime teammate Davis, who will be headed to Dallas. “Woe 4L! See you soon.”
James also had a sad face emoji placed in the middle of the photo as well as prayer, handshake and a salute emoji at the bottom.
The Lakers and Mavericks have played each other once this season already, with the Dallas winning 118-97 on Jan. 7.
