We’re here. It’s time to talk about Kyrie Irving and the Lakers:
– How the Lakers could afford Kyrie.
– Can they get him and keep Austin Reaves? Rui Hachimura? Jarred Vanderbilt?
– Why I’d ultimately lean against pursuing Irving as the Lakers. cbssports.com/nba/news/kyrie… – 3:21 PM

Another Lakers factor to remember as this LeBron James situation looms: They plan on retaining Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura, which would unofficially take Kyrie Irving off the table. But how does LBJ see the roster? More here, at @TheAthletic

NBA execs not buying @KingJames @Lakers retirement. “He’ll be coming back by mid-July.”
ALSO
@dallasmavs may nix potential Kyrie-Russell swap
Malik Beasley expected back
Lonnie Walker NOT expected back
AND Austin Reaves chatter!

Maybe it’s just because I’m a fan of the team that was dumb enough to put themselves in this position, but feels like LeBron is posturing to ensure Lakers try for Kyrie. – 9:17 AM

LeBron might have other ideas (Kyrie, retirement?) But look at the Nuggets’ game plan the past few years and where it’s brought them? Makes the prospect of staying the course seem like good sense.

I don’t think LeBron is actually going to retire. I think he’s pressuring the Lakers to try to get Kyrie Irving again. – 1:26 AM

Tristan Thompson is playing. Kevin Love is one game away from the Finals. Kyrie Irving is in the building. LeBron has 23 in 15 minutes.
What a time for the 2016 Cavs. – 9:19 PM

As a catchall, there’s a TON of “Can Lakers/Kyrie etc.” and while sure, technically, pathways exist —> from what I can tell he’s going back to Dallas:
