He doesn’t go anymore. Kyrie Irving and LeBron James have met, something very normal given their personal relationship. But the surprise is not there, since they have not talked about the possible arrival of the base to the Lakers, something that has grabbed many headlines and rumors, since Irving is a free agent. Rather, they would have done it so that the Angelina star would head to Texas and form a theoretical big three of scandal with his and Luka Doncic’s old partner. Absolutely incredible information given by several journalists in the United States, including Shams Charanbia (The Athletic)which has a very high reliability.
The news is quite bizarre because it is implausible. Chris Haynes, another journalist, has leaked that the Mavericks were already preparing a great offer for LeBron last season., when the Lakers were in the doldrums and didn’t even qualify for the playoffs. Said offer did not come, but it seems that the wishes of the Texans still stand and Kyrie’s meeting with his former Mavericks teammate would be a move to test the wishes of the veteran star, the top scorer in history. A man who, by the way, has not yet ensured his continuity in activesince after the elimination of the Lakers against the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals, he slipped the possibility of retiring.
There are few chances of the move taking place. LeBron has a contract with the Lakers until 2025 and wants to play with his son Broony, who would arrive in the 2024 draft. And the money that he has to collect (almost 100 million dollars pending), the one that Kyrie can request in free agency (he will want a maximum) and the one that Luka Doncic has pending (215 million until 2027) make the operation unfeasible. It could also be all a tactic by James, who leaks the information so that the Lakers react and sign Irving. One way or another, the rumor is there. And in the NBA anything is possible. Even crazy things like this.
