Smart s 11 million to the lake revealed that Doncic hit 20 power in 7 days, James has not sent a text message yet

Although Marcus Smart's attendance rate has been extremely low over the past few years, the Los Angeles Lakers have decided to introduce him to help them improve their outside defense on the bench. Smart has only played 39 games in the past two seasons, so his health will be a risk, but since the Lakers only gave Smart a two-year contract worth $11 million, the risk is not great.

, and it is reported that Smart accepted such a low price to join the Lakers entirely because of Luca Doncic's enthusiastic recruitment, which is said to have made 20 calls in 7 days. In the interview, Smart also particularly thanked Doncic for his efforts to recruit him, saying that Doncic was the main reason why he decided to join the Lakers.

Smart said in an interview: "When you meet a player with a status like Luca, he keeps calling, recommending, and contacting you, asking where you are at any time, and asking if you want to do something special with him on this team. He made me feel that I really need my help, and this feeling means a lot."

Although Smart was recruited by Doncic and received a welcome message from Doncic as soon as he decided to join the Lakers, he also said that he did not receive any text messages from LeBron James at all. But Smart was not worried about the fact that James, the team leader, did not send a message to welcome him. He said that James was a "busy man", so he thought James just didn't have time to send it.

While Smart doesn't care about this, all signs suggest that James seems indifferent to the Lakers' ongoing offseason deal. It is reported that because James is already in the final stage of his career, the Lakers have already valued the young Doncic more, hoping to hear more from Doncic than from him. This gap makes James, who is used to being the focus, unacceptable. He is obviously angry with the Lakers' approach.

The editor believes that when the editor published the article, Smart should have received news from James. After all, James' emotional intelligence is here, and he should also hope that defensive players like Smart can join the team and help the Lakers solve the biggest outside defense problem last season. Regardless of the final truth, James's idea is not important. We must admit that at this stage of James' career, he can no longer rely on his personal influence to decide whether a person will stay or not. Smart is now on the Lakers, and as long as he can stay healthy, he will inevitably get a lot of playing time as a substitute point guard.
