Kyrie Irving Saga Might Take a Sharp Turn, if Kawhi Leonard Influence Pushes Out $110 Million NBA Star

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving is most likely to join a new team in a couple of days. The trade deadline is on the 9th of February and teams are working overtime to get deals completed in time. There is a number of teams who will be looking to grab the chance of signing Irving. Out of them, the Los Angeles Lakers are touted to be the rumored next destination for the former NBA champion. However, it seems another team from LA is in the mix.

The team in question is the Los Angeles Clippers. Although a trade to the Clippers is unlikely, Kawhi Leonard can force a move. Talking with Zach Lowe, ESPN Insider Bobby Marks delved into the possibilities of seeing Kawhi and Kyrie together.

An unlikely team ready to bid for Kyrie Irving

Seeing Kyrie Irving in a Clippers jersey might be unusual for a number of people around the world. Talking about seeing Irving play for the Clippers, Bobby Marks and Zach Lowe gave the fans a reality check on The Zach Lowe Post.

According to them, the Clippers will not make efforts to sign the former Rookie of the Year as they don’t have the appetite. However, one man can change everything. It is Kawhi Leonard.

Marks said, “I would be very very surprised if the Clippers dipped their toes into this Kyrie Irving situation. Maybe that will change if Kawhi goes to them and says, do this or else, or whatever. I just don’t get the sense that they have the appetite for it.”

Interestingly, it seems the Clippers want to ship veteran NBA star John Wall elsewhere. This might be the perfect opportunity to cash in on Kyrie Irving. Wall signed with the Clippers last year and has a two-year contract that will earn him upwards of $6 million in both seasons.

Although he was decent for the time he played, Wall injured himself and will be out for quite some time. With the team looking to trade Wall and Irving available on the market, exciting times are certainly ahead for Clippers fans.
