LeBron James has no plans on having yet another losing season with the Lakers next year.
James is super excited about Kyrie Irving potentially joining him in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly been exploring trading for Irving since Kevin Durant demanded out from Brooklyn.
According to Marc Stein, James wants to see Irving in Los Angeles “more than anyone” and is “rooting hard” for the Lakers to get him.
Irving only played in 29 games last season due to vaccine requirements, but he averaged 27.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game.
After rumors surrounding his future, he would opt into his player option for the Nets for the 2022-23 season, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t be traded.
The Nets and Lakers have reportedly discussed a swap of Irving and Russell Westbrook. Other players would have to be involved in the deal.
