According to insider Jovan Buha, Dallas is a name to keep an eye on. He’s heard some buzz around James preferring a move to the Mavericks. “There has been some buzz, I will say, in the general NBA ether over the last week or two with LeBron and Dallas.”

“I felt they were clear as mud,” said Brian Windhorst on ESPN Radio on Sunday. “I’m not really sure what they are trying to communicate. He has 100 percent full control of his situation. He had the option to become a free agent today, which he bypassed. He is one of two players in the league who has a no-trade clause—LeBron and Bradley Beal. When it comes to a trade, he has total control of whether he gets traded, what he gets traded for, etc. “The Lakers really don’t have any control. They can only receive his notification of the player option. And if he would like to be traded, he can communicate that. He hasn’t done that. The ball is in LeBron’s court. “I’ll just say this: in 2025, trading a player who makes $53 million as LeBron will next season is extremely complicated, especially if you’re a contending team which is what he would probably want. I would say right now that’s an interesting development, which I’m not sure will lead to any change.”

“Trust me, I’ve spent a large part of the last 24 hours trying to figure out LeBron trades,” said Windhorst. “And I don’t really see any that are feasible and make a lot of sense. If this is a drip, drip to get to there, I’m not sure we’re going to get there. I’m also not sure what sort of message he’s sending Luka Doncic, his teammate, who they are planning on trying to compete. At least they were. For a run next year. And like I said, if his message to the Lakers is to improve the roster, he’s been saying that for seven years. “I’m not real sure about the strategy that is being employed here. I guess I will wait and watch and see what the next move is because I frankly do not think there’s much of a next move for LeBron other than show up for training camp in the fall because I don’t think the Lakers are interested in trading him.”

The 2003 No.1 overall pick revealed this during a dinner outing in New York with his wife, Savannah, Miami Heat and former Cleveland Cavaliers big man Kevin Love and his wife, Kate, among others. One of the dinners guests posted a snippet on Instagram of the conversation where James can be heard saying, “Savannah wants me to f–king retire in the next year or so.” His agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN that while LeBron “appreciates the partnership” with the Lakers, he “values a realistic chance of winning it all” and will be closely monitoring the team’s offseason moves.
