Do not count the Dallas Maverks for another trade that alters the championship with the Los Angeles Lakers this year.
“Dallas, I was told that they would be interested only in Lebron [James] In an acquisition situation, “Dave McMenamin of Espn reported on Thursday on Espn Radio 710 in Los Angeles.

In other words, If James had to become a free agent, the Maverick would be interested.
It is a great “if” and so James is also moving. But the status of the great of all time has been carefully monitored throughout the League since its agent, Rich Paul, has given Espn a declaration that indicated the conditionality of James’ commitment against the Lakers, even after collecting his option from $ 52.6 million with the organization during the weekend.
“Lebron wants to compete for a championship,” Paul said to Espn. “He knows that the Lakers are building for the future. He understands it, but appreciates a realistic possibility of winning everything. We are highly appreciated for the partnership that we have had for eight years with Jeanie [Buss] and Rob [Pelinka] And consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career.
“We understand the difficulty in winning now while we prepare for the future. We want to evaluate what is best for Lebron at this stage of his life and career. He wants to do every season that has left the count and Lakers understand him, are supported and want what is best for him.”
James is a 40 -year -old NBA champion, four times that is still hungry for another title. The pressure was on the Lakers this week to support James with a list of championship caliber.

They had a success on Monday when the versatile piece of Frontcourt Dorian Finney-Smith agreed to sign with the Houston Rockets. Since then Los Angeles has made some move to bring the reserve striker Jake Laravia to the center Deandre Ayton and to the reserve striker.
The question remains, however, if the Lakers will have enough to satisfy James, who won a championship since he joined the franchise in 2018.
As for Dallas, the Mavericks could be an attractive landing place for James, given his ties with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. James won a championship with Irving in Cleveland and another with Davis in Los Angeles, and not only joins them, but also a five-time all-star and four times NBA champion to Klay Thompson.
The Mavericks roster is now named after choice n. 1 in general Cooper Flagg, which, like James, is another forward.

But once again, according to McMenamin, the Lakers should buy the James contract for the Maverick to be interested in adding the League MVP four times.
James has in particular a non -trap clause in the contract of his Lakers. So if he wanted to be exchanged, he would have control over his destination.
But McMenamin has his doubts that James has left the Lakers.
“We continue to raise this because I don’t think he is getting enough attention,” McMenamin said on Espn Radio 710 in Los Angeles. “His son is on the Lakers. So will he go away from his son?”

McMenamin stressed that Lebron James’ packaging and Bronny James in an agreement would prove difficult to do with how much their contracts cost together.
