LeBron James Sent Bombshell Kyrie Irving And Kawhi Leonard Update

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers would have to try really hard to sign an All-Star this summer. The team has been linked with Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. There’s a new report suggesting that the king shouldn’t rule out the possibility of Irving or Leonard joining him in LA.

Magic Jonson stirred the pot this week with his explosive interview right before Frank Vogel had his inaugural press conference as the new head coach of the Lakers. Many said that Jonhson’s interview affected the team’s chances of signing a free agent this summer. The Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets have better chances of signing one.

However, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith says there’s a huge possibility that LeBron helps the team land a big name. He said that Irving has been talking with Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Johnson had plans to bring Leonard before his resignation.

“Kobe’s been talking to Kyrie,” he said on the Stephen A. Smith show. “Obviously you know Kobe and Kyrie are very close. Kobe’s been talking to Kyrie. We don’t know if Kyrie would consider the Lakers. Although I’ve been told by folks close to Kyrie there ain’t no way in hell he’s going to the Lakers to join LeBron, but I’m being told don’t rule that out.

“Kawhi Leonard to the Lakers. I’m being told don’t rule that out. In fact I have it on pretty good authority that’s something Earvin Magic Johnson himself was working on because he knows the uncle of Kawhi Leonard. So we can’t rule that out with the Lakers.

“Of course the Clippers think they got a shot at Kawhi and now Brooklyn think they now got a shot at Kyrie and Kevin Durant because they’re anticipating having enough cap space for two max players as well, which was the impetus and motivation behind the New York Knicks ultimately trading KP to clear $41million in cap space so they would have over $73m available and they’d be able to get two max players.”

This summer will be interesting for the teams. Who is coming to LA?
