“They are yet to be aggressive in acquiring them” NBA Insider revealed how serious LA Lakers are to peruse their trade for Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving is as much of a beneficial piece as he could also be a burden to his team. Over the last few years at least, the baller has been involved in a hefty amount of controversy surrounding his name. This past season one of the most damaging he has ever caused due to his decisions. He initially opted out of play due to the vaccine mandate, but the time he was cleared to participate the team was already struggling.

Irving only attended a total of 29 games during the regular season and quite honestly played well during those games. It seemed like the Nets had hope to make a decent playoff run but during the first round their chemistry including Kevin Durant in the picture did not pan out as they had hoped. The Nets were swept in the very first round.

Kyrie Irving played a very smart game with the Nets during the off-season in order to land a massive four-year extension. He was very hesitant to sign the one-year deal worth $36.5 million valid through next season. The risk involved here was that the Nets were not willing to gamble with a max contract considering his reliability.

Similarly, Kyrie was at risk of possibly losing the option he had since his reliability was a main deciding factor for several other teams as well. His choice to not sign the contract was a mere marketing gimmick used to get himself more money, similar to James Harden recently opting out of his player option with Philadelphia 76ers. However, he fell through with the signing but his teammate KD wants out.

Considering how their season with Russell Westbrook turned out, the Los Angeles Lakers come off as no surprise wanting to find a better piece to pair with LeBron James. They happen to be one of the only teams reportedly making an effort to acquire Kyrie Irving. James and Irving both have experience playing together and winning a championship in 2016 with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

NBA Insider Adrain Wojnarowski revealed overtime, a trade is very likely to happen between both the Nets and Lakers. “The Lakers have yet, I’m told, to be aggressive in trying to put a deal together to get him from Brooklyn. That may come, that may evolve with time. So far right now, there’s no traction really on deals with either Irving or Durant.”
