Even though things have been quiet on the LeBron James front since the vague comments from his agent about evaluating what's in the future Hall of Famer's best interest, he could be keeping an eye on the Dallas Mavericks.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, if James were to become available via buyout, the Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks would be expected to join the Dallas Mavericks in pursuing him. However, Stein was quick to add that a buyout this summer is highly unlikely.

For the first time in his NBA career, LeBron James is no longer the primary focus of his team. Following a bold midseason trade that brought Luka Doncic to Los Angeles, the Lakers are reportedly prioritizing the younger superstar over the four-time NBA champion.
