Marc Stein have had his say about a possible LeBron James departure from the LA Lakers, with the Knicks, Warriors, and Mavericks in running.

While the Knicks had no interest in trading for James and giving up a key player in the process, if the superstar simply wants a chance at winning, New York would certainly have to be near the top of James’ list. Stein also noted that the Knicks’ front office, led by Rose and William Wesley, already has ties to James.

Even though things have been quiet on the LeBron James front since the vague comments from his agent about evaluating what's in the future Hall of Famer's best interest, he could be keeping an eye on the Dallas Mavericks.
