LeBron James, Anthony Davis get cryptic with identical ‘goodbyes’ Instagram posts

LeBron James and Anthony Davis can’t get out of each other’s minds.

The former Lakers teammates posted the same cryptic message to their respective Instagram Story on Tuesday.

“Becoming the best version of yourself comes with a lot of goodbyes,” the posts read.

Naturally, this will add some fuel to the rumors that James wants out of Los Angeles and to play with his two title-winning Robins to his Batman in Davis and Kyrie Irving.

Davis and Irving are now paired up in Dallas after Davis was unceremoniously sent packing along with Max Christie from the Lakers in exchange for Luka Doncic at last year’s trade deadline.

James won the NBA Finals with Davis in 2020 during the bubble season when they dominated the Jimmy Butler-led Miami Heat.

James’ agent, Rich Paul, previously put out cryptic statements of his own regarding his client’s future, boldly stating that James wants to compete for a chance to win the title in 2026, with the underlying tone being that the Lakers are not currently in a position to do so.

The four-time NBA champion and future Hall of Famer could have opted out of his contract this offseason, but instead chose to opt in and make $52 million this season, as no team had the cap space to pay him that much.

With the two sides seemingly not seeing eye to eye, James could surely use some more help throughout the roster as he enters his age-41 season.

Los Angeles brought in DeAndre Ayton and Marcus Smart, among others, to help fix a team that was eliminated in five games by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs last season.
