Kyrie Irving Recruits LeBron James to Join Mavericks, But Deal Faces Obstacles

Kyrie Irving has reached out to LeBron James about teaming up together on the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavericks would have to acquire James from the Lakers, but lack attractive trade assets and face salary cap restrictions.
Irving is set to become a free agent, and the Mavericks hope to re-sign him to a long-term deal.
A potential Big Three of James, Irving and Luka Doncic in Dallas is intriguing but difficult to construct under the league's collective bargaining agreement.
The Lakers reportedly aren't interested in signing Irving and want to keep their core together around James and Anthony Davis.
