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.
The two teams will face off once again on Feb. 25 and April 9.
Later this month, the teams will battle in Los Angeles, marking Davis’ return to the city he helped bring home the 2020 NBA championship alongside James.
Doncic’s return to Dallas will be in April, which will be the third to last game of the regular season for L.A.
