LeBron James has been making headlines ahead of his record-setting 23rd season, as speculation swirls that he could be on his way out of Los Angeles. The 40-year-old has been linked to both trade and buyout rumors this summer, and Nikola Jokic's agent added some fuel to the fire in a recent post on Instagram.

The rumors seem to bounce around on how interested the Mavericks would be in actually making a move to get him. The latest report comes from Dan Woike and Joe Vardon of The Athletic, who stated, "One team linked to James — the Dallas Mavericks — does not have interest in gutting its roster to match James’ salary in a trade."
