A-Smith: James has the responsibility to ensure that 077 stays behind the Lakers, He is a master in dealing with interpersonal relationships

May 8 News Recently, famous speaker Stephen A-Smith expressed his hope on the show that James hopes to take responsibility for Doncic to sign a long-term contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Smith said: "It is not James' (direct) responsibility to ensure that Luca Doncic renews his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't feel responsible... Why not?"

Smith then asked: "If it weren't for Wade, would LeBron James sign with the Heat in 2010? After all, it was Wade who convinced James to play in Miami with him."

"Ham led him to the Western Conference Finals, but he left. JJ Redick, who was playing podcast with James at the time, was the new head coach. Don't talk about the media. What's going on, please stop hurting my feelings. I ask you, is Brownie on the Lakers' roster? Are you saying that the Los Angeles Lakers were shouting to choose Brownie with the No. 55 pick? They really can't wait to do this? "

" For LeBron, the NBA business is about interpersonal relationships, about relationships with the Lakers... So, it's not just about money... Pelinka can't maintain this relationship, and Jenny Buss can't do it, but he (LeBron) can build it in the locker room with his teammates, and James is obviously the best in this regard." Smith added.

Previously, Doncic said he wanted to stay, and Bobby Marks said that it is the top priority for the Lakers to showcase the construction of the lineup after James left the team.
