Retirement, not retirement? LeBron James recently cast doubt on his future, but Kyrie Irving, he does not want to see the “King” hang up at all. In fact, he even hopes to lure her… to Dallas! This is the improbable news reported this Monday by Shams Charania. “Kyrie Irving contacted Lakers star LeBron James to try to see if he would come to Dallas“, ures the journalist of The Athletic And Stadium. Chris Haynes from DTT And Bleacher Report relays the same kind of noises, specifying that the native of Melbourne pushes for the Mavs to set up a trade which would make it possible to attract the “King”.

Because yes: LeBron James is still under contract for next season ($46.9 million), with a player option for 2024-25 ($50.6 million). Complicated. All the more complicated since Kyrie Irving is at the end of his contract this summer, and the Mavericks already have $ 108 million booked for next season in terms of payroll. Kyrie Irving, 31, serves as a priority for Texas leaders this summer.
