NBA News Roundup, Monday, June 17th: Kyrie Irving to the Lakers remains a possibility, Julius Randle could leave Pelicans and more

Kyrie Irving could still join the Lakers

Kyrie Irving is expected to leave the Boston Celtics this summer

Reports in recent days have suggested that Kyrie Irving's move to the Brooklyn Nets is imminent, although The Athletic's Sam Amick is reporting that Irving could still head to the Lakers:

Could it be Kyrie Irving, whose frustration with the Celtics experience has been well chronicled and who has been tied to the Brooklyn Nets in recent days? It certainly matters that the two former Cavs co-stars reconciled back in January, when our Joe Vardon detailed the apology phone call heard 'round the basketball world.

What's more, it was also clear back then that James was open to the possibility of a reunion. Just days before the Davis deal was done, a source close to James indicated some optimism that - Nets noise be darned - Irving was still in play for the Lakers.

Irving has spent the past two seasons with the Celtics, although he has given no indications that he will remain in Boston this summer.
