LeBron James reuniting with Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis? Lakers star has interest in Mavericks, per report https://t.co/ikvC6HWYWk— LakerTom (@LakerTom) July 28, 2025
Given that the Mavericks employ several of James’ former teammates — including Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell — are led by coach Jason Kidd, who was on L.A.’s staff the year James led them to a championship, and has familiarity with Dallas general manager Nico Harrison, who once worked at Nike, it’s hard to ignore why there’s interest there. But beyond the professional and personal connections, from a basketball standpoint, the Mavericks do present a unique opportunity for a win-now situation that may entice James more than the slow approach the Lakers have shifted toward this summer. While Irving is expected to miss at least half of next season, and probably more, having James alongside Davis, Russell, Klay Thompson and No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg would be an intriguing lineup even in a loaded Western Conference.

Hilarious. Same response as the Denver BS lol.
I bet Dan Gilbert has the red carpet stashed somewhere, just in case 🙂
