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.

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.

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.
