For almost all of his remarkable career, LeBron James has called the shots.His teams have done whatever they could to keep him happy. Cleveland honored his preference and kept signing him to short-term deals in his second stint there,

This comes as James’ agent Rich Paul put out a series of curious statements related to his top client’s future in Los Angeles and what appears to be hopes for trades. James to remain a Laker remains the most likely option, but the odds have shifted from -700 to -340 at the time of writing.

It isn't likely that the Los Angeles Lakers will move on from LeBron James. However, if they do, the Dallas Mavericks will be one of the teams interested. If it comes down to a trade, however, the Mavericks might not be as inclined to get something done.
