“Still a Lakers Desire More Than a Kyrie Irving Desire”: NBA Insider Provides Big Update on Nets Star’s Reunion With LeBron James

Despite all the turmoil going on in the Brooklyn Nets camp, they still seem to have held tight to their two stars. While Kevin Durant may have put in a trade request, no moves have been made yet. And despite the Los Angeles Lakers interest in reuniting Kyrie Irving and LeBron James, nothing seems to have progressed so far. However, an NBA insider seems to have given a massive update on the situation with Irving and the Lakers.

The Lakers have made it clear that they are interested in the services of Irving, but the Nets are not letting him go for cheap. Even though they have him under contract for just a year, they value him as a key piece. Despite all the chaos and uncertainty that he brought, the Nets hold high value for Kyrie.

And despite rumors that Irving wants to leave the Nets, he has made it clear that he still sees himself at the Nets. In fact, he wants to build a championship culture there with Durant.

The Lakers’ dream of Kyrie Irving and LeBron James reuniting may not happen

An NBA Insider, who has been following the drama for some time now, gave his thoughts on the entire situation. He adds, “Kyrie Irving becoming a Laker is still “a Lakers desire more than an Irving desire currently” I’m told.”

Irving was spotted in LA a month back, and this sparked massive rumors. Apparently, he also seemed to speak highly of LeBron on a podcast. But this new report may dismiss those rumors.

The Lakers have been trying to unload Russell Westbrook but the Nets do not seem interested in him. And they do not have many attractive pieces to offer in return as well. The only way this could be a possibility is if the Nets get a trade request from Kyrie or they decide he is a luxury not worth keeping.

But until then, Kyrie is set to remain in Brooklyn for the foreseeable future. And with no new reports on Durant, the Nets are poised to run it back with the same stars next season. Not to mention, they have Ben Simmons on the team as well.
