LeBron James and Kyrie Irving reunion still possible, Luka Doncic could be paired with wealthy $36 million superstar after initially ‘not interested’

The NBA season is approaching, and NBA trade rumors are also in full swing. Teams are looking to strengthen their rosters before NBA Media Day on October 2. Every team is looking forward to the new NBA season with hope and optimism. Front offices across the league will try to stay ahead of the curve and seek to outwit each other to get to the promised land.

As rumors swirl, some teams are looking to acquire disgruntled stars on the cheap. However, there are those who want to make smart choices to improve your roster.

Lakers try to trade Kyrie

The Lakers got off to a terrible start last season, but they ended the season on a promising note. They lost to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. The team’s goal is to start strong. They added talented players in free agency and are now a title contender. But the Lakers aren’t done yet, as they have developed interest in LeBron’s former teammate Kyrie Irving. Looks like there’s still some work to be done to bring Kyrie to “city ​​of angels‘.

The main sticking point in the current situation is the Dallas Mavericks’ reluctance to accept a trade offer from the Lakers. The Lakers are reportedly willing to trade D’Angelo Russell for Kyrie Irving. This trade makes no sense for the Mavericks because Kyrie is a better player than Russell. They are also trying to win a championship with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving at their core. With the trade deadline still a few months away (February 8), this is a deal worth keeping an eye on.

Lakers and Mavericks enter win-now mode

Both teams are looking to bolster their rosters to take advantage of the star power they currently have. The Lakers are trying to improve on their good results last season. They also added Christian Wood and Gabe Vincent, among others. This season, the Lakers will try to add more firepower to their roster in order to win their 28th NBA championship.

The Mavericks are in a similar position. They have to compete for an NBA championship because if they don’t, they could lose Luka in free agency. Luka Doncic has emerged as one of the best players in the NBA, and the Mavericks need to build a team around Luka’s incredible talent.

Trading Kyrie is a step in the right direction, but Luka and Kyrie will have to improve their chemistry if they want to compete for a championship. They’ll need further help, and the front office will need to act quickly if they want to capitalize on this opportunity.
