The Los Angeles Lakers are in the thick of Kyrie Irving trade rumors, but they are not the only team that is there that would love him on their squad.
It seems that the Lakers have some competition, as there are “several suitors involved,” according to NBA insider Shams Charania. Two of them are the Philadelphia 76ers and Dallas Mavericks.
“Kyrie Irving is one guy who I think we got to pay attention to,” said Charania. “He has several suitors involved when you talk about Lakers, Sixers, Mavericks.”
