Brooklyn star Kyrie Irving requested a trade and missed the Nets’ match against Washington, and in addition to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Clippers also joined the race for the American player.
The first team that was talked about was the Lakers. This would mean that Irving would play again with LeBron James, with whom he played in Cleveland, but the two did not part on good terms.
“That is a question for the administration. You’ll have to ask him when you get back to Los Angeles. I told you I don’t speak for the management. I am thinking about the players who are in the starting line-up and in the team. Of course, he would improve the team, that’s a stupid question when you’re talking about a player like that,” said LeBron James after the Lakers’ loss to the Pelicans on Saturday.
However, the news is also coming from America that the Lakers will not be the only ones who would like to participate in the trade for Irving. Apart from them, there are also the Mavericks and the Suns, while the Clippers would also like to see Kyrie on their team.
In the last year of the contract, Kyrie Irving should earn almost 37 million dollars.
