NBA: LeBron James prepares a big blow on the trade market
Published on July 19, 2023 at 01:12
The Los Angeles Lakers have done an excellent job of enhancing their roster a little more this offseason. After reaching the Western Conference Finals, LeBron James’ franchise has kept the same core with several key additions to the rotation. However, and while the end result was great, the Californians also left the door open for mid-season shakeups if needed. Kyrie Irving could bring his stone to the building.
THE Lakers practically confirmed that D’Angelo Russell would be traded at some point next season, especially if things start to look like the point guard produced in the Western Conference Finals — that is, if he were to repeat the lackluster performances in moments important. As a result, a big file is coming back in force in LA. Regardless of what the Lakers, LeBron James is naturally going to have a say as the face of the franchise. If D-Lo no longer brings the required necessities, the King could try to take advantage of Los Angeles to obtain what he ultimately desires: to play with him again. Kyrie Irving.
LeBron wants to find Irving
In his podcast, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst – who covered LeBron extensively throughout his career – explained why he thinks the latter is still potentially targeting a reunion with Uncle Drew: “I think LeBron has better play with Kyrie Irving again. I think he likes the idea of playing with Kyrie, the concept of playing with Kyrie and Anthony Davis. I’ve long said that the best big man couple LeBron has ever had, when it comes to pure form, is Anthony Davis. I believe the best guarding duo LeBron has ever had is Kyrie Irving. swung the journalist.
A trade in sight at mid-season?
The fact that Windhorst clarified that LeBron might be interested in playing with Irving et Davis is very important to note. The King could choose to leave for Dallas, especially if Bronny James is drafted there, but to play with both Davis et Kyrie, it would have to happen in Los Angeles. If the sauce does not take Luka DoncicTHE Mavericks could then agree to part ways with the All-Star point guard. Moreover, with the quality and depth of their roster, the Californians would have enough to afford Uncle Drew. Russell, Rui Hachimura et Jalen Hood-Schifino could be included in the deal. For Dallas, it would certainly even be enough of a trade, especially if things go wrong beforehand with Kyrie.
