What do you think of A-Smith s comment on James?

On May 9, the NBA playoffs continued. Earlier today, A-Smith, a famous quarrel with James, once again called out to James on the show, saying that James has a responsibility to ensure Doncic renews his contract with the Lakers because James is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Doncic's existing contract expires in 2027. He has a salary of about $43.03 million this season, about $46 million in the 2025-26 season, and is a player option worth $48.97 million in the 2026-27 season. Starting from August 3, Doncic is eligible to renew his contract with the Lakers in advance. Due to being traded by the Mavericks, Doncic missed a super maximum salary. He can sign up to a four-year, $229 million maximum salary contract this summer. Doncic also has the option of a three-year, $165 million max contract, including the third-year player option. This short-term contract renewal allows Doncic to return to the free market faster and may make up for the super maximum salary lost when traded by the Mavericks ($345 million in five years).

When talking about Doncic's contract renewal, famous A-Smith mentioned James again on the show, saying: "Making sure Doncic renews the contract with the Lakers is not James' direct responsibility, but that doesn't mean he should not feel responsible... Why not? If it weren't for Wade, would James sign with the Heat in 2010? After all, it was Wade who convinced James to play in Miami with him."

Then A-Smith continued: "Stop talking about the media and please don't hurt my feelings anymore. Just like, Ham led him He reached the Western Conference Finals, but he finally left. JJ Redick, who was working on a podcast with James at the time, was the new head coach. I asked you, Brownie is on the Lakers' roster? Are you saying that the Lakers were shouting to choose Brownie with the No. 55 pick? They really can't wait to do this? For James, 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 either, but James can build it in the locker room with his teammates, and he is obviously the best in this regard. "
