Could LaBron become a Maverick?

Dallas Morning News Mavericks beat writer Eddie Sefko certainly thinks so. He ranks James' three options after this year as 1. Miami, 2. Cleveland and 3. Dallas.

After the local fans booed him following Tuesday night's blowout loss to the Boston Celtics, I can't see James remaining in Cleveland. Just look what he has done for that franchise. Booing LaBron James in Cleveland is nothing more than a sign of complete ignorance and proves that the folks around Lake Erie don't deserve him. So I think you can eliminate Sefko's second option.

What can Miami offer than Dallas can't? Plenty. There's this. And this. Plus this. And, of course, there's this guy.

So what can Dallas counter with? A team owner who really cares about the well-being of his players. A better shot at an NBA title (I've always maintained that the only way the Mavs will win it all is when Dirk Nowitzki, as great as he is, is the second best player on the team). Possibly more disposable income. (Because Texas doesn't have a state income tax, even a salary less than what Miami could offer could mean more money to James.) Less serious crime. And, of course, there's Dallas' main attractions.

Go get him, Mark. No, not her. Him.
