This offseason has been filled with LeBron James trade rumors, as he opted into his player option for the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this offseason, and the Dallas Mavericks have been tied into much of this buzz. Even though it's clear the Mavs are only interested in James if he gets bought out by the Lakers, as they have no interest in trading for him, the recently revealed report that James was eyeing a move to Dallas is intriguing (before he ultimately opted into his player option).
The new rumors about James wanting to be a Maverick are exciting for Mavs fans, as he could consider signing with Dallas in free agency next summer, but they also could confirm a shocking rumor about Luka Doncic and his dynamic with James on the Lakers that was reported earlier in the summer.
