James didn t contact Ayton? Pierce: He retired soon and sent text messages for a lifetime and was tired

July 12th News Lakers' new aid Ayton said at a press conference that he did not receive a welcome text from James.

In response, Pierce said: "LeBron is likely to retire after this year, right? He has been doing this all his career, texting constantly. He is tired. I remember that I had a meeting so many times in the last year of the league. In the last year, I thought, ‘I'll pay the fine, no matter how much. I won't come to such a meeting again.’ ”

” We don't even know if James said to Doncic, 'Luca, it's your job to do these things now.' He gave up the keys , handed him to Doncic. He might have gone out for vacation with his family, he might have respected Ayton. "

" This should not be a matter of breaking up a team, nor should it make the team look like something went wrong. They will be fine. James will take time (with Ayton), but that is no longer James' priority. I hope Ayton doesn't feel hurt because this is how the media is trying to create conflicts. He will naturally talk to you when he wants to talk to you. You have been welcomed by the team and held a press conference. "
