It makes sense for the Dallas Mavericks to have some level of interest in Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James if he becomes available, given that he’s played and has a good relationship with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. However, for other reasons, it may not be as easy for the Mavericks to finalize a deal.

Last week, the Los Angeles Clippers were named a potential landing spot for LeBron James. It came as a surprise as James hadn't actually requested a trade and the Clippers hadn't shown any interest in the 21-time All-Star.

NBA season gears up for takeoff, rumors suggesting that LeBron James could leave the Los Angeles Lakers also seem to be heating up. The four-time NBA champion has been with the Lakers since 2018, after he jumped ship to join Rob Pelinka’s camp from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
