LeBron James has addressed the rumors concerning a potential trade involving Anthony Davis in a deal that could send him to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Dončić. He expressed his frustration over the speculations regarding his influence on the Lakers’ ongoing discussions.

Responding to a tweet regarding this alleged conflict with Davis, James firmly stated that there is no truth to these claims. He clarified that he has never been frustrated with his former teammate. Reports indicate that James was unaware of the trade negotiations until they surfaced, catching many off guard.

Davis and James began their partnership after a high-profile trade in July 2019, leading to a championship victory in 2020. In the trade, the Mavericks will be acquiring Max Christie along with the Lakers’ 2029 first-round pick. The Lakers and Mavericks are set to face each other on February 26.
