Irving wants out of Brooklyn. Despite the franchise clearly playing well when healthy. Heck, despite the team still looking respectable without the Slim Reaper.
But, it is what it is… or so Kyrie will probably be hoping the world at large says.
Unfortunately for the man, things were never going to turn out quite as rosy.
Fans from all across the globe have been losing their mind. And it appears that Stephen A Smith is right there with them.

Frankly, we aren’t too far away from Stephen A Smith on the man who’s paid $34 Million, on this one.

And given the person he is, it might just be enough to sway him into LeBron James’s arms.
Magic Johnson says he’s love to see Kyrie Irving on the Lakers
Kyrie Irving to Los Angeles was quite the popular rumor at the start of the season. But, like all others, this one had died down as the season went on.
But of course, there is no stopping the rumor mill now. And admittedly, Magic Johnson isn’t helping in that regard.
Here is what he recently tweeted out.
Personally, I’d love to see Kyrie in the purple and gold.

Will Kyrie Irving rejoin LeBron James on the Lakers? Would the franchise even be a contender again if things play out that way?
