LeBron James’ influence on any team is immense, and the Dallas Mavericks would have been no exception. With LeBron’s arrival, the Mavericks’ already formidable roster, led by rising star Luka Doncic, would have transformed into a formidable Big 3. The combination of LeBron’s leadership, Kyrie’s scoring ability, and Luka’s playmaking skills would have made the Mavericks an instant championship contender.
While the idea of such a superstar trio is undoubtedly tantalizing, it is essential to consider the financial implications. Acquiring both Kyrie Irving and LeBron James would have required significant financial maneuvering by the Dallas Mavericks considering the salary cap.
