ESPN's Bobby Marks says Kyrie Irving has the most "leverage" of any potential free agents for the upcoming offseason.

Doncic has 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists in his first game against his former team and LeBron James scores 27, as the Lakers win for the 15th time in their past 19 games, 107-99.

LeBron James isn't the only player on Rich Paul's client list. The NBA superagent also has, among others, Anthony Davis on his star-studded clientele, which is why it may come as a surprise to many that Paul didn't know about Davis' blockbuster trade to the Dallas Mavericks before it went down.

LOS ANGELES — Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers are set to host the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. Of course, it will be the first time that Doncic plays against the Mavs in his career. Dallas head coach Jason Kidd made an honest admission about Doncic and LeBron James before the contest.

When the Dallas Mavericks signed Naji Marshall to a three-year, $27 million contract in the offseason, they expected him to bring intensity. And he did just that on Tuesday, going right after LeBron James in a road game versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

Luka Dončić's first game against his former team featured his first triple double as a Laker. Dončić had 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists, while LeBron James scored 27 points as LA held off Dallas in the fourth quarter.
