There have been multiple reports about the Lakers chasing Kyrie and building up a package to reunite Irving and LeBron. While the news of Kyrie staying with Brooklyn has broken Lakers fans’ hearts, as per the bleachers’ report, the doors are not closed. Many NBA experts feel that the chances of the reunion still persist.?
Kyrie to Lakers
It is believed that Kyrie Irving is not considered reliable by the Nets management following his performance last year. Although no one doubts his skill, you never know when he may take a break from the team. Lakers, on the other hand, are trying to rebuild another super team, and having LeBron, Anthony Davis, and Kyrie Irving surely qualify as one.?

The primary reason a lot of fans believe that this trade might not go through is because of the available market cap of the Lakers. Kyrie is an all-star player and acquiring him won’t be that easy. Lakers, on the other hand, are already running huge contracts for Westbrook, LeBron, and Anthony Davis. The available cap size for the team is limited and not much is left for the former star.?

Mutual interests are the major reason why experts and fans still believe that the deal can go through. LeBron and Kyrie in the past have proven to be a championship-winning duo. Together, they are formidable and both the stars share great chemistry on the court. It would be a treat to watch them if Kyrie chooses to make another run for the chip with LeBron.
