If it’s even a possibility, the Los Angeles Lakers should be all over the chance of adding Kyrie Irving to the roster heading into next season.

It would be extremely complicated, but if the Lakers could figure out a way to get out of Russell Westbrook’s contract and bring in Kyrie (I’m not even how possible that is with the CBA S&T rules and LA’s cap situation) as his replacement, it would be a huge win for the franchise this offseason.

Kyrie is the exact player that LeBron James needs at this point in his career. He would help take a ton of the offensive load off him and would help Anthony Davis at the same rate.

Again, I’m not even sure this is possible, but if it is the Lakers should explore a Kyrie-LeBron reunion.
