, with the former Brooklyn Nets guard instead being dealt to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. James and Irving previously enjoyed great success playing together at the Cleveland Cavaliers between 2014 and 2017, reaching the NBA Finals in all three of the seasons they were teammates and winning the title in 2016. “I can’t sit here and say I’m not disappointed on not being able to land such a talent,” James told ESPN on Monday.
I don’t get too excited about the possibilities of things that can be. “I kind of envision myself on what it can, but I don’t invest it all the way into it until I know it’s happening and when it does not happen, I’m back locked in on the job at hand. “So we had an opportunity, our names were out there, the Lakers name was out there. We had an opportunity, it didn’t happen.
