Once again, there has been a ton of speculation about LeBron James and his future with the Los Angeles Lakers. Rich Paul, James’ agent, has poured fuel on the fire with a few public statements that raised eyebrows.

Kyrie Irving has previously pushed the idea in private that the Dallas Mavericks should trade LeBron James from the LA Lakers in the off-season. James has recently signed a two-year extension with the Lakers worth $104m but a switch to the Golden State Warriors to link up with Steph Curry has also been mooted.

The Dallas Mavericks have been linked to LeBron James, although it seems that they would only make a move if a specific condition is met.
