Lake Record: If James applies for a deal, the Mavericks may be on his list of potential next players

Today, NBA reporter Jovan Buha broke the news on the show that there have been rumors in the NBA about LeBron James and the Dallas Mavericks.

"There are indeed some "rumors" within the NBA over the past week or two about LeBron James and the Dallas Mavericks. If you look at the current situation: The Mavericks have Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and Jason Kidd -- LeBron once played alongside him in the United States, and Kidd was his coach when he was with the Lakers," said Jovan Buha.

Jovan Buha said if James applies for a deal, the Mavericks may be on his potential next-tier list.

"We've seen pressure through media statements, but this time it feels a little different. I think LeBron will stay, but if the Lakers are really in a disastrous situation - like Finney Smith leaves the team, misses key players in free agency, fails to complete the deal, and LeBron is dissatisfied with the roster and proposes to leave, I suggest watching out for the Dallas Mavericks. All I can say is that - If he does apply for a deal, the Mavericks are likely to be on his potential next-place list," said Jovan Buha.
