Well, well, well… if things aren’t getting more interesting surrounding LeBron James and the Dallas Mavericks, then nothing is.
James, who recently had Rich Paul make some telling comments to ESPN, would ideally be a perfect fit with the Mavericks.
However, given his situation with the Los Angeles Lakers, it remains uncertain whether James would ever leave Los Angeles.
Things only got more interesting on that front this week when Jared Dudley announced that he was taking a job with the Denver Nuggets.
Dudley was a member of James’ championship team with the Los Angeles Lakers during the bubble and is a good friend of his.
“Words cant even describe how thankful I am for being able to coach for the Dallas Mavericks these last 4 years. Want to take time to really say Thank you to Coach Kidd and Nico for giving me the opportunity to coach here. Literally going straight from playing in my 14th season the NBA, to coaching on the front bench! Also had the Privilege learning from so many different coaches on the way. Special Shoutout to Coach Sweeney for helping me on my journey! He helped me become a better coach! Really appreciate it! Lastly to the Fans and the players! It was a fun ride! Good luck to y’all both! Got to watch and coach Some of the best players to ever play this game! Luka, Kyrie, AD, Klay Thompson , Brunson and others.. Thank you Dallas ,” Dudley wrote.
While that comment might not be much from Dudley, what James posted on his Instagram story after it could be a telling sign.
“Congrats my brother!! Well deserved @jareddudley10,” James wrote.

Communicating with former Mavericks employees, as well as his existing relationship with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, there’s reason to believe that he may want to be in Dallas.
It remains uncertain how things will play out, but James knows how to stir the pot and did that on Thursday.
