Probably one of the aspects of the acquisition of Kyrie Irving Lakers What is not fully discussed is the relationship between LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. It was that relationship that played a role in the split from Cleveland a few years ago.
Some sort of reconciliation between James and Irving will be needed to get things going along this offseason. However, based on the latest reports, they seem to have come to the understanding that they can clarify how to re-team.
With today’s headlines and rumors, there’s more.
Irving wants to team up with Revlon
One of the most interesting headlines in the last few months, especially wisdom, is Kyrie Irving. Expressed regret over how he left Cleveland.. It probably laid the groundwork for what he would be the way to join the Lakers this summer.
People around the NBA now believe that Killy is working to return to Revlon. Athletic..
Kyrie Irving for the Lakers chatter is “slightly substantive.” @sam_amick..

As Amic says, Revlon will open its doors, which is an important factor in this.Perhaps last season’s Lakers failure made Lebron more forgiving, or perhaps it’s old age, but his thinking has changed from him. The first reaction of confusion and frustration shortly after Killy left Cleveland..
Lebron wants to team up with Killy
However, this is not a one-way street for Killy that requires Revlon. Lebron knows how teaming up with Killy can improve the Lakers.according to Kyle Goon’s OC registerHe is among the many in the Lakers and sees Irving as an improvement (my emphasis).
Obviously, if James was burned forever by Irving, who requested a deal in 2017, there would be no smoke to talk to the Lakers. Multiple reporters, Mark Stein and others say there is communication between James and Irving as the Nets situation continues to stagnate... James is one of those who believe Irving can help the Lakers, showing that he’s not the only conversation I’ve had around the team. James and others around Irving may believe he would be happy to do what he needs to win in Los Angeles.
None of this facilitates the actual acquisition of Irving. We still need either a big credible leap for Irving to save $ 30 million or a faint hope for a slightly more likely three-team deal.
However, the NBA player empowerment era has a long history of players demanding / demanding to go to a particular team and eventually landing there. This is probably one of the biggest tests of the idea.
Lakers 2-day draft deal?
Lakers Traded on draft day and won the 35th pickFinally selected Michigan State University Max Christie..Giovanna Buha Athletic In his post-draft work, he revealed several things, including the fact that Christie was the most remaining prospect on the draft board and the team made almost another deal.
Christie, a 6-foot-6 wing from Michigan, was the most remaining prospect at the Lakers draft meeting, according to league sources. Athletic.. The Lakers wanted Gonzaga guard Andrew Nembhard (31st) to drop to 35th, sources said. The Lakers have considered buying another second round pick to draft Brown, sources said.
Kendall Brown Pacers And like Christie, it’s more like a project as a prospect than someone who can make an immediate impact. It’s interesting that the team was considering adding a second draft topic that probably wasn’t an instant impact player, but it’s affordable because there are so many empty roster spots.
