Even though it’s the Dallas Mavericks that Kyrie Irving was traded to, the Los Angeles Lakers have been discussed just as much as the Mavs since. The Lakers have been interested in Kyrie since the offseason, so his going elsewhere explains why they are being spoken about so much now.  

It was no secret that LeBron James wanted Kyrie Irving. He has won a championship alongside the star point guard in the past, and it makes sense that he would want him back on his team. But the Lakers couldn’t get the move done, and that’s all there is to it in the end. 

LeBron James tweeted a little while after the trade went down, sharing a cryptic message that was widely thought to be about the Kyrie Irving situation. The King simply wrote, ‘Maybe It’s Me,’ with many suggesting that it was a sign of his unhappiness with the situation. James went on to elaborate on his feelings about the trade on Monday, but not before someone decrypted exactly what he meant. 


Chris Haynes Broke Down What LeBron James Meant By His Tweet

Many have held LeBron James as a responsible party regarding where the Lakers roster has been these last couple of seasons. He was pivotal in the Russell Westbrook move, after all. But the King seemingly knows now that there isn’t much he can control at the moment. Chris Haynes tried to decipher LeBron’s tweet from that perspective. 

“LeBron understands that they offered what they could. They offered what they could within reason. … I guess he feels unlucky. I don’t know. Rob Pelinka didn’t hold back.”

“LeBron understands that they offered what they could. They offered what they could within reason. … I guess he feels unlucky. I don’t know. Rob Pelinka didn’t hold back.”

The hours since the trade revealed that the Lakers did make a very substantial offer for Kyrie Irving. They reportedly offered Russell Westbrook, their picks, as well as Austin Reaves and Max Christie. However, there are also suggestions that Joe Tsai didn’t want to deal Irving to the Lakers because that was the star’s preferred destination. 

In a situation like that, there isn’t much even LeBron James can do. Knowing the King, though, he will be back on the floor with a vengeance aiming to take on all challengers in a bid to make it back to the postseason. And if the Lakers can put together even what they have right now, no one can write them off moving forward.
