It’s been more than a week since the Kevin Durant soap opera started at the Nets, with Kyrie Irving’s at the same time. The latter will leave Brooklyn, even if the destination is still unknown, at least officially. Behind the scenes, the future of the leader is not in doubt according to several people.
Quoted on departure for several weeks, Kyrie Irving will wear a new jersey at the start of the school year. We do not yet know which one, but a return to the Nets is to be ruled out, just like that of Kevin Durant at the same time. Big trade is brewing in the Big Apple, and as you can imagine, it’s not a process that takes a few days. There is talk of a three or even four team trade for KD, which promises to shake up the whole league when it sees the light of day.
Kyrie? It will not be of the same magnitude. Firstly because the point guard makes a worse impression than his teammate, and secondly because he only has one year left on his contract. The battle is relatively small to attract number 11, who also does not shine with his sometimes questionable behavior. It doesn’t bother LeBron James, who is campaigning for the Lakers to bring him in, in exchange for Russell Westbrook.
Kyrie Irving’s next team already known?
For the moment, no trade, which is starting to create some friction among the Angelinos. The point of no return may have been reached, which means that an exchange is preferable in the coming weeks, probably to move to Brooklyn. For insider Trevor Lane, who talks regarding the Lakers, there is no doubt that Uncle Drew will end up in the City of Angels this summer. It only remains to know the date.
There are some rumors regarding Kyrie Irving coming to the Lakers, and I can confirm all of that. The deal isn’t done yet, I’m not saying it’s going to happen 100%. But the general idea is that he will come to the Lakers, following speaking with a few people. He will soon be a Los Angeles Lakers player, sooner or later it will happen.
We must not forget that Kyrie will be a free agent next year. Even if he does not join the Angelinos during the summer, nothing will prevent him from signing there in a year, in order to potentially win a new title alongside LeBron James and company. So it’s not necessarily a big risk, since the market is empty for Kyrie at the moment, despite his 27.4 points and 5.8 assists average.
What a hot take! Also, Russell Westbrook won’t be on the Lakers in the future. Guaranteed. You heard it here!

What a risk! I also indicate that Russell Westbrook will no longer be with the Lakers in the future. It’s guaranteed. You saw it here!
Kyrie Irving at the Lakers? That’s the trend, it just remains to be seen if an agreement can be found with the Nets. LeBron James pushes on his side, but Rob Pelinka remains reluctant given the consideration requested. Whatever happens, we will probably have to wait for the outcome for Kevin Durant.
