Kyrie Irving Insider Unveils Truth Behind LeBron James And Lakers Trade Deal

Kyrie Irving and LeBron James have been making headlines since the very first moment the king came to LA. Latest reports reveal some of the details related to his trade.

According to an insider, Kyrie Irving is interested in playing alongside LeBron James in Los Angeles. NBA expert Ric Bucher has spoken to somebody close to Irving, and added fuel to the fire.

Irving will be playing the final six months of his contract in Boston, and he has committed his future to the team. However, Anthony Davis is planning to move to Los Angeles, and Irving may try to follow suit.

LeBron and Kyrie have won the NBA Championship wearing the Cavaliers jersey. There is a huge possibility that they play together again.

“Back to the discovery that Kyrie would be open to playing with LeBron James again,” Bucher said on the Bucher and Friends Podcast. “My first reaction was ‘No f-ing way’. So I called somebody that no doubt knows what Kyrie is thinking. I just asked how much should I put into LeBron’s IG messages and Kyrie would be open to joining LeBron. And my guy didn’t hesitate. He said ‘Oh no, it’s for real’.”

Irving was not interested in playing in the shade of LeBron in Cleveland. However, he faced a pressure in Boston, too. Playing alongside young teammates was not easy at all, and he became aware of the attitude he had in Cleveland.

Kyrie Irving misses playing with LeBron

“[My source] went on to explain that the weight of being the guy responsible to carry a team that is expected to go the the Finals is proving to be more than Kyrie expected,” Bucher said.

“Look, there are guys who just like to play the game at a very high level. Kevin Durant is the same way. Leading, mentoring, politicking, some guys find all of that tedious. So I guess Kyrie has got all her this overhead now where he is thinking ‘I could just be the closer. Be the killer’. That’s the life that Kyrie misses and sees himself having again if he joins LeBron.”
