?We?ll Cross That Bridge When We Get There?: Grim Kyrie Irving News for NBA World Leaves Lakers Fans in Sheer Denial

Brooklyn Nets superstar?Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Nets yesterday, just before the NBA’s February 9 trade deadline. As a result, many franchises including the Los Angeles Lakers have shown their interest in acquiring the Nets guard. Though the Lakers might have shown their interest in the 30-year-old, according to NBA Insider Brian Windhorst, they have some reservations. Meanwhile, shortly after Windhorst disclosed that there are some reservations, his statement elicited the attention of many fans online, who shared their views on social media.

Irving joined the Nets from the Boston Celtics in 2019. However, now, it seems like his time has come to an end in Brooklyn as he seeks a new challenge in the league.

The Lakers are interested in Kyrie Irving but they have some reservations

According to Windhorst, the Lakers are interested in acquiring Irving. The ESPN analyst said, “The Lakers position from what I understand is that: They’ve been interested in trading for Kyrie Irving, but they’re not so sure about trading for him and being obligated to give him a $200M contract at season’s end.”?

Irving is undoubtedly one of the best players currently playing in the NBA. The 30-year-old has the potential to turn around any game almost single-handedly with his offensive prowess. The 2016 NBA champion is currently averaging 27.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists this season. Therefore, if the Nets guard somehow lands up in LA, he would certainly make an impact on the hardwood for LeBron James and co.

NBA fans reflect on the Lakers having some doubts regarding Irving

Fans flooded the comments section of Twitter to share their thoughts. Most of them couldn’t believe that the Lakers were having some doubts. While a few fans expressed that it wouldn’t be the right choice to acquire the 30-year-old.
