The Kyrie Irving trade saga is taking a major turn. A few weeks ago, it seemed likely that the duo of LeBron James and Kyrie will be back in the Lakers. However, it is a long shot now.

The latest reports on the former NBA champion suggest that he is likely to stay in Brooklyn. This comes after a report that came out some days ago, which talked about how Kyrie never asked for a trade.

Safe to say, this has sent fans on Twitter into a frenzy. Although the Lakers fans are still optimistic, other fans have left no stone unturned to roast the fanbase.

In a piece of news that will calm the Nets fanbase, Irving is more likely to stay than to leave. According to reports, “From my conversations with people in the league, seems pretty clear Kyrie’s accepting the fact that he is overwhelmingly likely to be back in Brooklyn.“

With the news doing the rounds of the internet, NBA fans on Twitter have given their reactions. Here are some of the best reactions.

Safe to say, the rival fans are having a good time mocking the Los Angeles Lakers. A major rebuild was expected after the Lakers failed to make the playoffs last season. One of the biggest names linked to the team was Kyrie Irving. His relationship with Lakers star LeBron James was one of the biggest reasons why fans thought the move would work.

A Russell Westbrook and Kyrie trade was looking increasingly likely, but it seems the fanbase needs to wait a little bit longer to watch Irving finally wear the Lakers jersey.
