Nets-Lakers trade involving Kyrie Irving and AD is unlikely

Following the reports that the Brooklyn Nets’ contract talks with superstar Kyrie Irving had stalled, the Lakers emerged as a possible landing spot, but an NBA insider finds it unlikely.

NBA correspondent Brian Windhorst addressed the Kyrie Irving fiasco on his newest podcast episode of Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective. Windhorst analyzed the logistics of where Irving could land outside of the Nets and he believes that the guard will stay with the team.

Windhorst hints that the only realistic trade option for the Lakers is a swap for injury-prone big man Anthony Davis. Noting that he does “not see” the trade coming to fruition.

Athletic reporter Shams Charania dropped the news on the contract standstill between Brooklyn and Irving, citing the Clippers, Knicks and Lakers as possible landing destinations.
