Goodbye Lakers! Goodbye Doncic! James next home is exposed, netizens: The fifth championship is stable

In recent times, the NBA's focus has undoubtedly been on various rumors between James and the Lakers. As news from all sides continues to spread, it seems that James and the Lakers have gradually entered a fork in the road, and James' next home has also become the focus of hot discussion among fans and the media.
In fact, the rumors between James and the Lakers are not groundless. Although James is already in the final stages of his career, he still has a desire for a championship. According to famous reporter Shams, James still has a strong desire to compete for the championship, but the Lakers obviously prefer to focus on Doncic's future plan, which has a clear difference with his desire to continue to compete for the championship, which has also caused the contradiction between the two sides to gradually surface.
It is worth mentioning that ESPN also reported it later: James believes that when the Lakers turned their focus to Doncic, they did not fully recognize his previous contribution.
From James' perspective, he feels a little disappointed that the Lakers have not fully recognized their past contributions. After all, when James chose to join the Lakers in 2018, the team was at a low point, missing the playoffs for five consecutive years, setting the worst record since Minneapolis moved. It took him only two years to help the team win the 17th championship in team history. Now, when James is eager to continue to compete for the championship, the Lakers are turning their focus to the future. This inconsistent strategic direction has caused a crack in the cooperation between the two sides.
Against this background, James' next odds were also released, with the Mavericks ranked first with an odds of +125, surpassing teams such as the Heat and the Cavaliers. The announcement of this odds undoubtedly adds some suspense to James' future.
Meanwhile, according to ESPN, four teams have contacted James' agent Ritchie Paul to discuss potential James deals. This shows that James' market value is still extremely high, and many teams hope to include him under his command to enhance the team's competitiveness. The Mavericks have the advantage in this competition. The team has former teammates such as Davis, Irving, and Russell. Kidd, Vogel, Phil Handy and others in the coaching team are also old acquaintances of James's former Lakers, which undoubtedly increases the possibility of James joining.
Regarding the possibility of James transferring to the Mavericks, Sports Illustrated even simulated a three-party trading plan, involving the Lakers, Mavericks and Jazz. The details are as follows:
Mavericks: LeBron James
Lakers: Daniel Gafford, Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, Najib Marshall, Li Kyle, 2029 first-round draft pick (myself, from the Mavericks)
Jazz: Jared Vanderbilt, 2030 second-round draft pick (from the Mavericks), 32-year second-round draft pick (from the Mavericks)
If this deal can be reached, the Mavericks will form a super strong team. James not only joins hands with Davis again, but also has powerful players such as Irving, Lefolio, and the new No. 1 pick Flag, who instantly entered the championship ranks. For the Lakers, Gafford will greatly improve the team's frontcourt defense and athletic ability, and other players can also provide strong support for the team's rotation lineup.
For James, no matter where he ends up going, his goal is always to win the championship. His career has proven that he can quickly become the core in any team and lead the team to victory. Now, he is about to usher in a new stage in his career, and fans are eagerly looking forward to his continued writing legends in the new team and launching an impact on his fifth championship in his career.
