The Mavericks remain hopeful that they'll be able to meet with LeBron James, even though they could only acquire him via sign-and-trade with the Cavaliers. James has already met with Cleveland, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. Sources with knowledge of LeBron's thinking have maintained for months that Dallas can't be dismissed as a dark-horse contender to land him thanks to player-friendly owner Mark Cuban and stars like Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd. http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=5352960
