Lakers unlikely to acquire a player like Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal
The Lakers are considered very unlikely to acquire a player like Kyrie Irving or Bradley Beal. “There’s no big game hunting out there for this Lakers’ organization,” said Adrian Wojnarowski. “In this league right now, with a new collective bargaining agreement, you can’t really have three max superstars and expect to have any depth on your roster. It’s going to look a lot the same.”

I wonder if the Mavericks still would have traded for Kyrie Irving if they’d known Bradley Beal was going to be available for an apparently minimal price four months later.
Could’ve gotten their sidekick with less controversy and possibly kept Dorian Finney-Smith. – 7:22 PM

Found a way to acquire Beal & have small tax: If you could convince Wizards to take Lowry & Robinson (you would need to give them at least 2 unprotected firsts) and then waive and stretch Vic, your payroll could be under 175 M with Jimmy, Bam, Beal, Herro, Nikola, Caleb,Highsmith – 2:01 PM

Tax implications of getting Beal aren’t felt in ’23;they’re felt if Lowry is dealt in trade.Lowry’s 29.7 M coming off books next year was going to give Heat relief under 2nd apron. That ’24, ’25 tax relief is gone -for better or worse- if Lowry dealt in Beal package.Tough choices – 1:31 PM

– More on this storyline
The Washington Wizards have granted star Bradley Beal and his representatives permission to speak with teams the three-time All-Star has interest in being traded to, league sources tell B/R. Beal and the Wizards have agreed to work together on finding the guard a new home should the franchise choose to embark on a rebuild. Beal has not requested a trade, sources say. It’s believed Beal will only consider teams with a chance to win. -via Bleacher Report / June 16, 2023
He owns a rare no-trade clause, giving him authority to veto and approve potential trades, sources say. The Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks are expected to talk with Beal and his agent, Mark Bartelstein, sources say. The possibility of Beal being moved is as real as it’s ever been, one league executive described it. -via Bleacher Report / June 16, 2023
Barry Jackson: Beal & agent now have permission to talk with interested teams, per @ChrisBHaynes … There will be conversations with the Heat, per sources. Miami among the teams that interest him. As we reported yesterday and Haynes noted today, he’s open to winning teams. Has no trade clause. -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / June 16, 2023
Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: Kyrie Irving is rocking 99 Products sneaker line today at his basketball camp. While Irving has not signed a deal with a sneaker brand yet, sources tell @BallySports that the point guard has been exercising his sneaker free agency this summer. 📸 – @LeagueAlerts. Kyrie Irving Update: He is still a sneaker free agent. The website selling these shoes is not a legitimate website: https://anktshop.com/basketball/anta-kyrie-irving.html Somebody’s in trouble! 👀👀👀 -via Twitter / June 17, 2023
The Mavericks are considering options to move down from No. 10 into the middle of the first round, sources said, to pick up a veteran rotation piece to help support Luka Doncic and free agent-to-be Kyrie Irving. The Mavericks and Hawks, for example, discussed the idea of swapping Davis Bertans and the No. 15 pick for John Collins and the No. 10 pick, sources said, although those talks do not appear to have progressed at this time. -via Yahoo! Sports / June 15, 2023
Miami has always been the franchise most often mentioned by league personnel as a Beal suitor. The Heat are perpetually positioning themselves to make a run at the next available star, whether it was Donovan Mitchell last summer or contacting Brooklyn about Kyrie Irving before February’s trade deadline, sources confirmed to Yahoo Sports -via Yahoo!
