What could a potential Lakers-Nets trade for Kyrie Irving look like? Russell Westbrook and two first-round picks in exchange for Irving and another Nets role player (likely Joe Harris), sources tell jovanbuha. More analysis:
in 2020 – and acquired Westbrook in 2021 in the first place – was because they wanted to put an elite ballhandler next to James who could alleviate his offensive workload. Neither move has panned out, though Schröder has been solid in his second go-round with the Lakers. But Irving is the caliber of player who would check all of those boxes.
Irving’s perimeter shooting would provide the biggest boost to the offense. Teams have to defend him at the 3-point line — and, frankly, anywhere beyond 12 feet, which is the zone they begin to ignore Westbrook. The gap between the two is large. Irving is an All-Star starter. Flipping Westbrook and future picks for him is a no-brainer from a basketball perspective.
after he posted a link to a documentary promoting anti-Semitic views on his social media accounts, then repeatedly refused to apologize for doing so. There are Laker fans who will never accept Irving because of what he did. Los Angeles has the second-largest Jewish population in the country, behind New York, so the Lakers would risk turning off part of their fan base by trading for him.
