Today, famous reporter Stein wrote an article about LeBron James' trading rumors.

Stein wrote: "I believe James does have some interest in joining the Dallas Mavericks. However, he has settled in Los Angeles, which has become the main residence of his family for the past seven years, and he is building a new home in Beverly Hills. At this stage, it may be necessary to get him out of this and go to play elsewhere, to have a place that provides a particularly comfortable environment. The Mavericks seem particularly suitable for this, as he has many acquaintances in Dallas, from general manager Nico Harrison and coach Jason Kidd, to former teammates Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving.

"Although mentioned earlier, the Mavericks' interest in James has not changed. I've reported for weeks that they've never tried to trade him, nor are they willing to give up multiple core rotations for a player who is about to turn 41 in December. But if James suddenly becomes a free agent and can sign him with a basic salary, that would be another matter. I believe that in this case, the Mavericks would really like to get him. But will this really happen? James was also selected to the NBA's second team last season. Do you think the Lakers will give up this season in August or September and buy out his contract, giving him a chance to join the Mavericks, Warriors or the Knicks? I don't think so. ”
