How committed is LeBron James to the Lakers after Luka Doncic trade?

LA Times  

Lakers stars LeBron James and Luka Doncic laugh on the bench during the win over the Clippers on Tuesday night at Intuit Dome. Before I could remind him of his public campaigns to directly or indirectly shame Lakers management into improving the roster in the weeks leading up to every recent trade deadline, he continued, “If I had concerns, I would’ve waived my no-trade clause and got up out of here.” The declaration wasn’t entirely convincing, not because of what he said but because of how he said it. “As a leader of the team, as one of the captains of the team, it’s my job to make it as seamless as possible,” James said. Or, more likely, maybe James didn’t know what to think about how the Lakers suddenly went from being his team to Luka Doncic’s. General manager Rob Pelinka said earlier in the day at Doncic’s introductory news conference, “Luka will be at the center of what we build long-term.” Pelinka never mentioned James.
