Kyrie Irving was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, but things have not worked out with new co-star Luka Doncic so far. With the Mavericks struggling, the rumors that he might join the Los Angeles Lakers and reunite with LeBron James have resurfaced, and Tristan Thompson recently spoke about it.
“Brother, I’ve been pushing that reuniting, that coming together for so long,” Thompson said on the Draymond Green Show. “With Kyrie and LeBron, it’s like a match made in heaven, they bring out the best in each other.
“It was like, the things that Kyrie does great were different from the things that LeBron does great. It was beautiful to watch… They’re so dynamic and great at so many different things, but together they’re like almost unstoppable.
“Could it happen? Yes. Will I continue pushing it when I’m on TV? Most definitely, because I think Kyrie brings the best out of LeBron and LeBron does the same thing… It feels like a story that wasn’t finished the way it was supposed to. There is still a couple of chapters between them two that they can make some magic happen. So I hope it can happen.”

These are strong words from Thompson, but it’s easy to understand why considering that he won a championship with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving on the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Los Angeles Lakers pursuit of Kyrie Irving has also been far from a secret, so it’s not just Thompson that feels this way. But it’s difficult to tell if a move like that can happen this off-season or not.
Will Kyrie Irving Join The Los Angeles Lakers?
Kyrie Irving’s future is almost impossible to predict at the moment. While he seemed happy enough in Dallas initially, things have gone a little sour after some recent losses. The Mavericks might not even make the playoffs this season, and Irving has never committed to staying on the team.
As far as the Lakers are concerned, there have been rumors that they would want to make it work with D’Angelo Russell over going for Irving. The team would have to undo all of their recent trades to have enough space to bring Irving on, which might make them a little reluctant. But there is no doubt that if it happens, NBA fans would love to watch LeBron James and Kyrie Irving play together once again.
