The only scenario in which the Mavs would go after the signing of LeBron James
The Texas franchise is interested in the arrival of 'The King', but not at any price
Looking ahead to the 2025/26 NBA season, LeBron James will earn 52 million dollars. The Los Angeles Lakers star decided to exercise his Player Option, a move that did not sit well with the L.A. franchise.
With that player option, the Lakers' flexibility in Free Agency has been much smaller than if he had renegotiated his salary. So far, they have only been able to sign DeAndre Ayton and Jake LaRavia.
For this reason, there have been rumors circulating in the NBA circles in recent days about the possibility of the Lakers trading LeBron. In this scenario, the Dallas Mavericks have shown interest. The Texas team is a title favorite, and with LeBron, they would raise their level even more. But they won't do it at any cost.
According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, the Mavs are interested in LeBron, yes, but only if the Los Angeles Lakers release him. If James becomes available through buy-outs, they could sign him as a free agent at a much more affordable salary.
