If James gets moved, the Dallas Mavericks would likely be one of his top landing spots. When discussing the situation once again, Paul recently shared what he's looking for in the future.

Handy was retained by the Lakers when the team parted ways with Vogel after the 2021-22 season and hired Darvin Ham. But when the franchise fired Ham after the 2023-24 season and hired JJ Redick to be the next head coach, Handy was finally let go.

Cooper Flagg didn't shy away from self-criticism after a rocky NBA summer league debut, calling the performance "not up to my standard" following the Dallas Mavericks' 87-85 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Dallas Mavericks are not interested in gutting their roster to trade for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, according to Joe Vardon and Dan Woike of The Athletic. James will make $52.6 million next season.
