Johnson’s recent tweet after Kyrie Irving requested a trade, is going viral on Twitter. Johnson tweeted, “Personally, I’d love to see Kyrie in the purple and gold.”, increasing the curiosity among Lakers fans, who begged the icon to help his former team one last time and bring Irving to LA.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

Lakers fans seem to be pleading for the reunion of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. The Lakers are in desperate need of an addition who can turn their season around. Fans believe it might be Irving if the Lakers trade for him. James and Irving, along with Anthony Davis, seem like a deadly combination on the hardwood. 

The Lakers will likely have strong competition for Irving 

Considering the skills, performance, and experience of the 6’2″ guard, there is no doubt a lot of teams will target him. The Dallas Mavericks are committed to building a roster around their main star Luka Doncic, although they reportedly have not made any moves yet.

The Toronto Raptors, who are finding a team for their veteran guard Fred VanVleet, might be interested in Irving as well. The Miami Heat, who are apparently looking to get rid of Kyle Lowry, might also make a move for the seven-time All-Star.
