Why may Kyrie leave Nets?
Fan’s dream of seeing the former stars teaming up together is coming true day by day. Recently, there were multiple reports that Nets management is unwilling to offer Kyrie a long-term extension contract. Interestingly, Kyrie will have a $36.5 million player option he can decline to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.?

Would Kyrie still prefer to stay with the Nets even after unwillingness by management is questionable? It might all just work out for two former stars to come together, and fans are excited.??
Lakers are the best option for Kyrie
If Kyrie chooses to be free-agent, multiple teams surely would be interested in the star. If going by what fans want, his desired spot is with the Lakers. With Russell Westbrook not performing as per expectations and the team failing to even qualify for playoffs, they direly need a superstar. Kyrie would also want to go for another ring around his finger and thus their interests align.?

Both of the stars know how good the other is and if they can settle their differences, defeating Lakers in 2023 is going to be a colossal headache for any team.
Potential Trade between Lakers and Nets
If we go by fans’ speculation, they believe that Westbrook moving to the Nets and Kyrie moving to Lakers is one-way things can work out. While this trade sounds like a losing trade for the Nets, the willingness of Kyrie would also come into the picture. There also have been multiple reports of Lakers and Nets executives meeting up. Thus NBA fans might have speculated right.
