While Kevin Durant would not like to lose Kyrie that easily, he surely was vocal about how frustrating it was to not have Kyrie during the important matches. Kyrie hasn’t really been dependable for the team, and even management would like to go with the idea of trading him.?
Is the Lakers the best spot for Kyrie Irving?
It wasn’t just the Nets, but the Lakers also failed to deliver what was expected out of them and that is the reason fans believe that the Lakers might have a spot for him. With the unexpectedly poor performance of Russell Westbrook and Frank Vogel taking decisions no one understood. The Lakers would be looking to make a change in their team.
Kyrie wanna be a Laker. He doesn’t know how to say it yet.

he can tell nets he'll opt out if nets doesn't trade him to lakers.
To get a return.
Kyrie to Lakers.
Randle/Rose to nets
Russ to NY. Waived. Goes to nets.which forces Simmons to Jazz for Gobert.
Nets end up with Russ. KD. Harris. Randle. Gobert.
KD knows how to run with Russ.— CognoScent (@Cogno_Scentist) May 21, 2022

Kyrie and LeBron have shared great chemistry in the past as teammates. Together, they won the 2016 NBA Championship and they might look to recreate the moment in the 2023 season. Kyrie moving to the Lakers might still sound far-fetched, but it is clearly a great choice.
LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, along with Anthony Davis, would surely be a fierce competition for every team. Meanwhile, LeBron would also love to have another ring around his fingers before retiring, and thus it clearly sounds like a great plan for him.
