Disinterested as I am in adding LeBron James to the Mavs at this time (and boy, am I disinterested), if I play devil's advocate with myself...
He'd put a sizable dent in the creation issue the team has, if not completely solving that problem. It would be a short term solution only (understatement) and would almost surely come at the cost of Flagg's portion of that role, but it would help in that area, for sure.
Depending on how good May will be right out of the gate, I'd say the only thing missing from there to be a legit playoff team right away would be 2-3 legitimate shooters...but those shooters would need to be iN THE ROTATION, so in other words replacing current rotation players.
It's not the way I'd go, and ultimately I don't think it's the way Ujiri will go. And, I doubt LeBron would even want to come to Dallas...but it's not impossible.
