James, who recently had Rich Paul make some telling comments to ESPN, would ideally be a perfect fit with the Mavericks. However, given his situation with the Los Angeles Lakers, it remains uncertain whether James would ever leave Los Angeles.

The Mavericks are running it back with head coach Jason Kidd despite persistent rumors that the New York Knicks were interested in hiring him. Those whispers have been put to rest after the Knicks brought on veteran coach Mike Brown to lead the franchise.

If LeBron James wants to leave the Lakers soon, the Mavericks could be interested, but only if James does one thing to make himself available.
