Cavaliers Cannot Trade Right Now For LeBron James, Mavericks Would Be Interested Only In Buyout Scenario

Cavaliers Cannot Trade Right Now For LeBron James, Mavericks Would Be Interested Only In Buyout Scenario originally appeared on Fadeaway World. LeBron James' cryptic 'Welcome Home' hat set the NBA world on fire, igniting rumors that the King could be eyeing a return to Cleveland. But while the symbolism was loud, the logistics behind a potential reunion are much quieter and far more complicated. Advertisement According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin on ESPN LA FM, the Cleveland Cavaliers are effectively out of the race, at least for now. "The Cavs are in the second apron right now, so they cannot trade for LeBron James. ... That's like a risk, because once you get rid of the stuff, there's a chance that it doesn't go through. So I don't think the Cavs are happening." "Dallas, I'm told that they would only be interested in LeBron in a buyout situation... But again, I don't believe that's happening." The NBA's new collective bargaining agreement has introduced harsh penalties for teams operating above the second tax apron. Among the consequences? Teams can no longer aggregate salaries in trades, making it nearly impossible for Cleveland to match LeBron's $52.6 million contract unless they completely gut their roster. Advertisement That would mean jettisoning multiple rotation players, potentially Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, and Max Strus, just to fit one aging superstar. Even if LeBron were willing to return, Cleveland's financial inflexibility may have already slammed that door shut. As for Dallas, the situation is different, but still not ideal. That's the catch. LeBron James has never been bought out. Not once in his 22-year Hall of Fame career. It's almost unimaginable that he would agree to such a move now, particularly when he just opted into the final year of his contract and still carries immense brand, on-court, and financial value. Advertisement So why are these teams being linked at all? Simple, because LeBron hasn't closed the door. In fact, his camp is applying pressure. Rich Paul, James' longtime agent, has confirmed that four teams have contacted him in the last 24 hours to gauge trade interest in LeBron. While he emphasized that there have been 'no substantive conversations,' he also made it abundantly clear: LeBron wants to play on a championship-caliber roster. Not necessarily in Los Angeles. Just somewhere that can win now. That's where the uncertainty lies. The Lakers, who traded Anthony Davis to Dallas for Luka Doncic, are no longer built around LeBron. They missed out on Clint Capela and Brook Lopez, lost Dorian Finney-Smith to Houston, and only recently signed Deandre Ayton after striking out on other targets. The roster as it stands, doesn't scream title contender. Advertisement And for LeBron, that may not be good enough. While a Cleveland reunion remains the most emotionally satisfying narrative, the hard cap makes it almost impossible. Dallas, meanwhile, would love to pair LeBron with Luka and their new-look roster but only if it comes free. So, unless Rob Pelinka rapidly upgrades the Lakers' roster, and unless LeBron changes his stance on a buyout or trade clause, the NBA's biggest domino remains in limbo. He's staying silent for now. But as McMenamin and others have made clear, the league is watching. And waiting.

Wimbledon's expansion plan heads to court while facing opposition from local residents

LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic calls it a 'win-win.' Carlos Alcaraz says it's a 'great idea.' Wimbledon's major expansion plan includes adding an 8,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof and 38 other grass courts at a former golf course across the street that would allow the All England Club to move its qualifying event and hold it on-site — as the other Grand Slam tournaments do — to boost attendance and revenue. Some local residents did a deep dive on the details, though, and they're not as convinced as the major champions are. That is why the proposal goes to the U.K.'s High Court for a judicial review Tuesday and Wednesday as the quarterfinals are held at the tournament that concludes next weekend. Opponents say they love tennis as much as the 500,000 or so fans who flock to SW19 — Wimbledon's well-known post code — over the course of the two-week event. 'But we're also lovers of the environment and of trees and greenery and open spaces,' said Susan Cusack, a member of Save Wimbledon Park. That's the group challenging the Greater London Authority's approval last September of Wimbledon's project, and they say they have raised more than $270,000 to pay for lawyers to fight against what Cusack and others call an 'industrial tennis complex.' 'They're a massive developer. On their current site, all they do is build, build, build,' Cusack said. Aside from concerns about the environment and overall scale, opponents argue the adjacent property that was a golf course when the All England Club bought it in 2018 is subject to restrictions that favor preservation of open space for the public. Wimbledon's case for expansion The oldest Grand Slam tournament is the only one of the four that holds its qualifying rounds at a completely separate location. There are also too few practice courts in the current setup, requiring some of the world's best players to share courts. 'Wimbledon needs to stay at the pinnacle of world sport, and to do that, you have to evolve both on the court but also off the court with the infrastructure,' Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, told The Associated Press. Wimbledon's attendance numbers trail the other three majors. The Australian Open sold 1.1 million tickets for this year's main draw — more than double Wimbledon's 2024 tally — after bringing in more than 115,000 the week of qualifying. Wimbledon's qualifying, three miles away at Roehampton, has 8,000 tickets total. The French Open pulled in 80,000 fans for its qualifying. Fans could watch star players practice, in addition to the mini-tournament in which competitors play for coveted spots in the singles brackets. Wimbledon's project would allow 8,000 spectators at qualifying — per day. 'If you look at the other Grand Slams, they will have community events during that first week ... and, of course, the serious tennis,' Jevans said. 'So we always start with the tennis but, yes, I want the opportunity to embrace more people. The demand for our tickets is off the charts.' An 8,000-seat arena would become Wimbledon's third-largest stadium after Centre Court and No. 1 Court; it would be located just across the street from No. 1 Court. Wimbledon's plan, which incorporates space now used for the famous Queue, would more than double its total number of grass courts — there are currently 18 for the tournament, plus 20 for practice. Jevans said 'at least seven' of the proposed new courts would be made available for community use. The plan also includes two public parks, one that would be 23 acres. Djokovic and Alcaraz support Wimbledon's plans If the plan survives legal challenges, there's still an eight-year construction window. That should rule out the 38-year-old Djokovic's chances of competing on the new courts. But the seven-time Wimbledon champion still wants the plan to succeed. 'It's great for the community, for London, for our sport. It's a win-win, to be honest. If it doesn't go through, it will be a shame,' he said Thursday. Belinda Bencic, who was 17 when she made her Wimbledon debut in 2014, said Saturday she likes that the club 'is investing and trying to do the best for the players." Two-time defending champion Alcaraz said putting 'qualifying really close (to) where we are now — I think it's a great idea.' Whatever happens, Djokovic noted, Wimbledon's future is secure. 'Wimbledon, as it is already, is a sacred tournament, a tournament that everybody wants to win or play in,' he said. 'This is only a bonus. It's something that will get it to even a higher level of recognition.' ___
