5 outlandish LeBron James trades to the Mavericks to reunite with Kyrie Irving, according to Trade Machine

LEBRON JAMES TO THE DALLAS MAVERICKS?!?! WHAAAAAAAAAT?

Back it up. This is merely in the pipe dream stages.

Reports dropped on Monday indicating that Kyrie Irving has asked LeBron James if the Los Angeles Lakers megastar would want to reunite with the point guard he won a title with … in Dallas.

That’s right, a Big 3 could form between Bron, Irving and Luka Doncic. Would it really work? Is LeBron suddenly going to leave a better Lakers team and his family in L.A. for this opportunity?

Either way, fans of course flocked to the various Trade Machine sites and came up with deals that would work:

1
Would the Lakers say no to this?

Despite the fact that the No. 10 pick this year isn’t bad, I say: The Lakers would say no.

2
A megatrade that gets ... Ben Simmons involved

I laughed. A lot.

3
A similar trade for Davis Bertans, Tim Hardaway and Maxi Kleber

Eh.

4
A wild one

This one breaks the internet.

5
A D'Angelo Russell trade
