While LeBron James and Kyrie Irving have remained close over time, the two players hope to end up on the same team when the King retires. The manager could join Los Angeles… but that’s a completely different scenario that could emerge. Explanation.
For the past few weeks, especially with D’Angelo Russell’s poor performance, Lakers fans have been hoping that they come from Kyrie Irving to give a small boost to the organization. He is also a free agent, and can come to the City of Angels by agreeing to lower his salary. An almost impossible scenario, the interested party wants important fees according to the latest echoes.
Changing franchise for LeBron?
His signature with the Angelinos is therefore compromised, but this does not mean that a meeting between James and Irving is impossible. As Shams Charania just confirmed on Monday, Kyrie is trying to recruit the Akron… Texas native to join him along with Luka Doncic. We don’t know the Lakers’ answer yet, but it will be very interesting.
Sources: Kyrie Irving has reached out to Lakers star LeBron James in an attempt to see if James would come to Dallas. Irving is a free agent this offseason.

Not particularly hot to join the Angelinos, Kyrie would therefore prefer James to join him in Dallas to form a completely crazy trio on paper with Doncic. We’re still talking about 3 stars needing the ball, which means this big three could quickly run into some obvious problems.
Note that Shams does not agree with LeBron’s answer. Maybe because he doesn’t know, or maybe because James is potentially interested. If so, we’ll know more soon.

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving would like to play together again, but we have to believe that it is the King who will have to pack his bags to see such a scenario. No answer yet, but maybe the Akron native is on second thoughts. The next few weeks promise to be explosive.
