Expectedly, LeBron James has returned to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday after picking up his $52.6 million option.
James reportedly has the option to sign a long-term agreement while accepting a salary decrease.
His comments regarding his desire to win another championship have sparked rumors that he may be planning to leave.
This led Polymarket Sports to question whether a possible meeting with Kyrie Irving was in the cards:
“The polymarket for Lebron leaving is spiking as rumors of him trying to win one more championship circulate. Would he reunite with Kyrie Irving in Dallas for one last shot at a ring?” read the post.
Renown X user @CuffsTheLegend, who has ghostwritten for numerous sports figures, has disclosed that one Dallas Mavericks player shares that view.
“A Dallas Maverick messaged me late last night and thatβs all i can say at this moment,” he tweeted on Tuesday.
Mavericks GM Nico Harrison reportedly has a great relationship with Lakers GM Rob Pelinka, which is what helped kick the tires on the Luka Doncic trade in February.
With the Mavericks also adding No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, perhaps getting back with Irving and Anthony Davis would be just what James was talking about when he talked about winning another championship before calling it quits.
Four teams want LeBron James
James has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he could essentially handpick his next destination.
