Marc Stein have had his say about a possible LeBron James departure from the LA Lakers, with the Knicks, Warriors, and Mavericks in running.

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.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, if James were to become available via buyout, the Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks would be expected to join the Dallas Mavericks in pursuing him. However, Stein was quick to add that a buyout this summer is highly unlikely.
