The Mavericks are running it back with head coach Jason Kidd despite persistent rumors that the New York Knicks were interested in hiring him. Those whispers have been put to rest after the Knicks brought on veteran coach Mike Brown to lead the franchise.

The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James do not appear to be on good terms currently. Plenty of reports have come out that suggest the two sides could part ways. Some think a trade might occur. Others simply think that James will play out the final season on his contract and either leave for another team or retire next offseason.

Well, well, well… if things aren't getting more interesting surrounding LeBron James and the Dallas Mavericks, then nothing is. James, who recently had Rich Paul make some telling comments to ESPN, would ideally be a perfect fit with the Mavericks.
