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.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James will always be tied to one another. He’s the greatest player in franchise history, and it’s virtually impossible for someone to take that distinction away from him.

Despite speculation regarding the two sides being a potential fit, the Dallas Mavericks reportedly aren't pursuing a trade for Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
