Could LeBron James request a buyout?
That’s what the Los Angeles Lakers superstar would likely need to do in order to join the Dallas Mavericks.
Mavericks All-Star Kyrie Irving has been recruiting James and wants the team to trade for the four-time MVP, according to TNT and Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.
Irving, who will be free agent this summer, desires a potential Big 3 with All-Star Luka Doncic.
“But any chance of forming a James-Irving-Doncic Big 3 under the NBA’s strict new Collective Bargaining Agreement will be difficult. The new CBA resembles a hard cap, making it very difficult to have three max players on a roster.
“In order for Irving and James to partner with Doncic, the two would have to take a sizable pay cut. The easiest—and unlikeliest—path to adding James this offseason would be for him to orchestrate a buyout.
The former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate were one of the most dominant duos in NBA history with an NBA championship to show for it.
James, 38, has one-year remaining on the extension he signed with the Lakers in 2022.
