The highlight of the latest iteration of the annual Las Vegas Summer League occurred Thursday night when Cooper Flagg and Bronny James traded buckets at Thomas & Mack Center. The highly anticipated matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers drew a star-studded crowd.

According to recent comments from Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Mavericks may have a chance to trade for him. According to Buha, he's uncertain if the Lakers and James have a good relationship going right now.

While Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has the usual pressure of being the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, the former Duke star is in a situation that sets up his rookie season to be tougher than even LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama’s first NBA campaigns.

The decision from LeBron James earlier this summer to pick up his player option for next season from the Los Angeles Lakers came with an important caveat from agent Rich Paul — the four-time NBA MVP wants the chance to win another championship before his career comes to an end.

LeBron James would not be traded by the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks, likely only joining the Mavs if he is bought out by L.A.
