Team Note: James really didn t know about AD Doncic swap transactions in advance. Redick knew about it before the game

May 6th News Recently, ESPN Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin talked about Lakers forward James while participating in the podcast program "The Rich Eisen Show".

James responded to the comments about whether the team needed to strengthen the center at the post-G5 press conference: "No comment. Because my buddy AD (Anthony Davis) said what he needed, he left in a week or two."

In response, McMenamin interpreted: "I will start with the AD part. Because some people are unwilling to believe the version of the incident presented by the two teams and our reporters, our responsibility is to figure out what happened in the February 2 deal. LeBron James didn't know the deal in advance. He didn't know. In that He only learned the news after the Knicks on Friday night. I was told that JJ Redick knew it before the game, but he almost knew it when the deal was about to be completed. So, that was he trying to clarify the controversy. ‘He is my buddy, and it was not a conspiracy that led me to plan the deal that got Luca Doncic.’

”The second meaning is, listen, I have also made lineup requirements over the years, and the same man in power has always been the same person, Pelinka, and we saw what happened after the last time a person of my position said these requirements. This statement seems funny and humorous at that opportunity. But he is also passing on the message. ”
