ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins Walks Off Set, Got Tired of Talking About The Lakers (VIDEO)

Kendrick Perkins has had enough of talk surrounding the Lakers.

On Friday, the former NBA champ turned ESPN analyst decided to walk out of the set of ESPN’s NBA Today program right in the middle of the broadcast because he had grown tired of talking about LeBron James and the Lakers.

The Lakers have been in the news a lot lately as reports have Kyrie Irving trying to get on the team after Kevin Durant demanded a trade.

The Athletic’s Alex Schiffer, Sam Amick and Joe Vardon reported that Irving was focused on joining the Lakers leading up to the decision on whether or not to opt-in to his contract with the Nets for the 2022-23 season.

However, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported Friday on First Take that the Nets have “no interest in accommodating” Irving’s desire to be traded.

Windhorst added that Irving would also have to wait for Durant’s situation to play out before potentially being moved.

This situation may drag on for a few more weeks.
