The report pointed out that Irving did not officially request a trade.&quot;Kyrie has not asked for a trade,&quot; Lewis reported. &quot;Now, if the Nets don’t want him, that’s something totally different. Kyrie has not said he wants a trade. He opted in. (So where did) the trade conversations come from? Is it because KD requested a trade and now everybody’s like let’s trade Ky? Kyrie opted in.&quot;Brian Lewis@NYPost_LewisKyrie Irving wants to be a Net — with or without Kevin Durant #Nets nypost.com/2022/07/12/kyr… via @nypostsports1029216Kyrie Irving wants to be a Net — with or without Kevin Durant #Nets nypost.com/2022/07/12/kyr… via @nypostsportsReports of Irving's trade have been flying about for weeks, with the LA Lakers as the preferred landing spot.

In the coming months, things will get clearer as to where Irving will play will be revealed.Nonetheless, NBA insider Brian Windhorst thinks it will be difficult for both players to stay with the Nets. Outside of the reports where Irving released a list of preferred sign-and-trade teams, there has been no word from him.The LA Lakers are the only team linked to Kyrie IrvingKyrie Irving, left, and LeBron JamesThe Lakers are desperate to rebound their horrid 33-49 season and believe Irving could help. Although teams have steered clear of him, some due to concerns of unreliability, the Lakers are actively looking to recruit him.theScore@theScoreLeBron is ready for the reunion tour with Kyrie. 1384101LeBron is ready for the reunion tour with Kyrie. 👑🏆 https://t.co/9LsdsXcwxvIrving has played with LeBron James in the past, in what was the most successful period in the Cleveland Cavaliers' history. In their three years together, they made three NBA Finals appearances and won the 2016 title.Partnering Irving with James and Anthony Davis could produce similar results. Based on recent reports, the Lakers are willing to make that bet even with a slight chance of returning to glory.
