Kyrie Irving Consents to Joining This Team With No Other Strong Bidders Amid LeBron James Linkup Reports

Kyrie Irving and LeBron James were a treat to watch during their time together. In a piece of news that will make all NBA fans happy, the duo might be together sooner or later. With Kyrie’s future with the Nets in a disarray, it seems he has chosen this team for his future.

It is none other than the Los Angeles Lakers. After a disappointing 2021-22 season, the Lakers are looking to rebuild and one of the biggest names linked to them is Kyrie. Moreover, it seems no other big teams are interested in Irving.

Despite opting with the player option for the final year of his contract, Kyrie Irving joining the Lakers is a real possibility. Although both parties want the deal to go through, it will not be as easy as it seems.

According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, “Kyrie Irving absolutely wants to be a Los Angeles Laker. This we know. The Lakers want Kyrie Irving. This we know. But making that happen, that’s a different story.“

He further added, “We don’t really get a good feeling there’s any team seriously on the market for Kyrie right now beyond the Lakers. It doesn’t mean they don’t like him or value him, they just don’t want to pay a potential price the Nets are asking.“
