Irving, who Dallas acquired at the trade deadline, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Meanwhile, James is under contract with the Lakers for the 2023-24 campaign with a player option the following year. The 38-year-old is pondering his basketball future, but the expectation is he will return for a 21st NBA season.
Irving and James played three seasons together with the Cleveland Cavaliers, helping the organization capture its first NBA Championship in 2016.
While much talk has surrounded Irving joining LeBron in LA, the 31-year-old’s recruiting efforts suggest he could re-up in Dallas, continuing his partnership with fellow superstar Luka Doncic.
