Everything seemed to point to the summer of Los Angeles Lakers would be destined to become an absolute failure if the franchise did not manage to get the transfer of Kyrie Irving. Although the movement by the base of Brooklyn Nets It is more complicated than ever, as the NBA Rumors have advanced, the Los Angeles team has several bullets stored in the chamber.
According to the journalist and NBA insider for ESPN, Adrian Wojnarowski, “it is more than likely that the Lakers will make more than one deal with another NBA team this offseason. It may not be because of Irving, it may not be whether it’s for an All NBA player or an All Star. But the purple and gold team will move before the season starts.”
All lights now point to Talen Horton-Tucker. Of the current members of the squad that Darvin Ham will lead in his first year as head coach in the NBA, the young forward is one of the most rumored to be traded this offseason.
And what about the Nets?
Regarding the hypothetical transfer that the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets were negotiating for Kyrie Irving (and that involved Russell Westbrook), Adrian Wojnarowski has announced that all talks are currently paused. “Everything will depend on what finally happens with the departure of Kevin Durant,” said the ESPN journalist.
Woj: “I think the Lakers will make a deal, maybe more than one deal. It may not be for Kyrie Irving, it may not be for an All-NBA player, an All-Star…It’s not completely dead with Brooklyn, but I think so much depends on what happens with Kevin Durant.”
