The NBA market is on fire as a potential trade of LeBron James is in the headlines. An NBA Insider has proposed a trade deal involving James between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Have a look at the potential trade idea!
Could LeBron James Reunite with Kyrie Irving on the Dallas Mavericks?
Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that Kyrie Irving contacted LeBron James to join the Dallas Mavericks. Irving asked James whether or not he was interested in joining the Mavs. Irving is actively looking for his trade options as he will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
LeBron is currently 38 years old and will turn 39 in the upcoming season. Even though he is about to retire, he is better than some players at their peak. LeBron currently has a foot injury, due to which he might not be able to play in all the games.

James has averaged around 28.9 points, 6.8 assists, and 8.3 rebounds while playing for the Lakers in 55 regular season games. The potential Hall of Famer has a shooting average of 50% from the field, which makes him stand out from the star players.
If the Los Angeles Lakers agree on a trade deal with the Dallas Mavericks to gain some valuable draft capital, here is a potential trade deal that could take place.
Dallas Mavericks Landing LeBron James – The Trade Proposal
- The Dallas Mavericks will receive LeBron James.
- The Los Angeles Lakers will receive Christian Wood (via a sign-and-trade deal), Tim Hardaway Jr., Maxi Kleber, a 2023 First Round Draft Pick (No. 10), and a 2027 First Round Draft Pick (unprotected).
This trade proposal is more of a speculation. The Lakers could ask for more young players than assets in this deal. For instance, they may want Josh Green or Jaden Hardy in the deal, which is still a good value.
The NBA offseason is here, and the trade market would be on fire again with some unexpected players on the move.
