The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers are notorious trade partners after the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis swap in February. However, the two sides could combine on an even bigger deal this offseason.

The Nuggets added several pieces this summer, including Cameron Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown. While a deal to reunite James with former teammates Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis in Dallas might seem more likely, the Nuggets could present a compelling offer for the 40-year-old forward while remaining competitive.

For months, publicly and privately, the Lakers have been signaling their desire to begin the Luka Doncic era in Los Angeles, even if it meant ending the LeBron James one.

This three-team deal sends LeBron James to Dallas, reshaping the West with Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg.

Sports gaming platform Fantasy Life has raised $7 million from such investors as LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Gerry Cardinale, Jeff Shell and more.

LeBron James opting into his player contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, followed by a statement released by his agent, has fueled trade and buyout rumors for the last week. He wants the best possible chance to compete for a championship, and even though the Lakers now have Luka Doncic, the rest of the roster is discombobulated, at best.

In a recent trade idea from The Athletic’s Fred Katz, there would be plenty of intrigue between the Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers once again. His trade idea would involve moving LeBron James to the Mavericks in exchange for Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, and P.J. Washington.
