Kyrie Irving, the point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, has reportedly been trying to convince his former teammate LeBron James to join the team. Although sources have said that a reunion between the two NBA superstars is unlikely, Irving is said to be determined to make it happen.

Sources close to the situation have stated that Irving has been pushing for the Mavericks to trade for James. While the idea of the two players reuniting on the court has excited many fans, others have concerns about how realistic it is for the Mavericks to make such a trade.

One possible obstacle to the trade is James’ contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar signed a four-year contract with the Lakers in 2018, and any trade would have to take into account the Lakers’ desire to receive assets in return.

Despite the challenges, Irving remains determined to make the trade happen. He has reportedly been in contact with James and has asked him directly if he would be interested in joining the Mavericks.

Irving’s desire for a reunion with James is not new. In a recent interview, he stated that he wants another chance to play with his former teammate. “I feel like both of us just figured out where we were in our careers and what moves we needed to make,” he said. “Now, looking at it, there’s definitely a chance for a reunion down the line.”

As for James, he has not yet commented publicly on Irving’s efforts to bring him to the Mavericks. However, the NBA superstar has previously stated that he is open to exploring all options when it comes to his future in the league.
