Despite a disappointing ending to their seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets have not yet strengthened their squads to become title contenders. But a new video has emerged which may see Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons joining forces with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving reuniting with LeBron James.
The Lakers have been in pursuit of Irving for some time now and they have reportedly been in contact with the Nets. But no offer has seemed good enough for the Nets and, unlike Durant, Irving has not made any request to leave. So the Nets have rejected multiple offers from the Lakers.

Last night in Los Angeles, Durant and Anthony Davis were seen entering a club together. Even Durant’s teammate Ben Simmons was spotted at the club. And this has reignited rumors about Davis leaving the Los Angeles Lakers to join Durant and Simmons in Brooklyn.
Many NBA insiders have suggested the Lakers trade away Davis. He had one hell of a season in his first year when they won the title in 2020. But the following two seasons have been disappointments. Davis has been injured in both seasons and has thus missed over half the games. The Lakers built their team around Davis and LeBron James, and having one of their pillars miss so many games has undoubtedly harmed them.
