?Too Toxic?: LeBron James? Lakers? Reported Stance on Kyrie Irving Leaves NBA Twitter in a Frenzy

The drama surrounding Kyrie Irving has constantly made headlines around the league. With Irving serving a five-game suspension, the Nets have listed six demands Irving needs to fulfill in order to join the team back again. But even after he does that, will Kyrie have a future with the Brooklyn Nets? That is a question everyone is wondering about lately.

Even if the Nets and Irving decide to part ways, there will be a lot of teams who would like to add him to their roster. A seven-time All-Star, Irving is one of the most talented point guards in the league.

The Lakers might not want to add Kyrie Irving to their roster

Despite his off-court controversies, Irving can pour it in on the court. He has the ability to lead the team, at least in scoring. So it shouldn?t come off as a surprise if other teams in the league might want to be his next destination.

Surprisingly, the Lakers might not be one of them. Over the past year or so, Irving has been linked with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are one of the teams that are suffering the most this season.

And they could use all the help they could get. Fans, media, and analysts have speculated that the Lakers might want to pursue Kyrie Irving if the Brooklyn Nets are interested in trading for him or decide to waive him.

According to senior NBA writer Sam Amick, the Lakers have significant concerns over adding Kyrie Irving to their roster now. ?It?s quite clear that Laker Land is a highly unlikely, if not impossible, landing spot.?

Fans seem to agree with the Lakers? stance on Kyrie Irving. One fan tweeted, ?Think most all teams have this opinion. Too toxic.? While another fan commented, ?tbh I wouldn’t want Kyrie bro just get good role players, solid shooters and wings.?

Why the Lakers were ideal for Irving

The Los Angeles Lakers were linked as a landing spot for Irving due to his history of playing alongside LeBron James. The two had undeniable chemistry on the court. However, with the amount of drama and controversy surrounding Irving, the Lakers cannot be blamed.

In fact, as lucrative as Irving is as a player, teams might want to stay away from him due to a negative impact in the locker room on other teammates. No team in the league wants to be in the headlines due to controversy because of their players.
