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.

Even though things have been quiet on the LeBron James front since the vague comments from his agent about evaluating what's in the future Hall of Famer's best interest, he could be keeping an eye on the Dallas Mavericks.

After a heated summer where it looked like the Dallas Mavericks could target LeBron James, a more realistic option could be available for both parties to join together next summer, as James has "genuine curiosity" about playing for the Mavericks.
