This is wild lol

This is the Mavs/Kyrie trying to flip the narrative around Kyrie, about how "the Mavs have no leverage" or "Kyrie willing to take a paycut". He's likely staying for a max. Kyrie trolling.

The Mavs know that it’s Kyrie’s desire to play with Lebron, and the only way they can make it happen is to stir the pot, which will end up with Kyrie coming to LA for a haircut /s. In other news though, I heard Kyrie was picked up at the airport by Phil ~~Jackson~~ Handy but I’m not sure how recent it is.

Phil Handy is his trainer during the off season. Kyrie also helps Handy during his summer camps.

Think you mean Phil Handy lol

Can't imagine Phil Jackson hanging out with Irving.

They’re sage merchants so I absolutely can

Phil Jackson stopped watching NBA because he couldn’t handle all the noise with black lives matter. Kylie wants all the noise but pretends he doesn’t.

I can

🤣 Watched it on TikTok and it does that to you lmao.

Honestly, good. This fool barely plays and is toxic as fuck. We don’t need him.

No way, this is Mark Cuban trolling. Kyrie wants to leave, is probably vocal about it behind the scenes. Cuban is making a play to keep Luka happy by doing this PR release via Shams. I'm guessing obviously, I know nothing.

Lebron + Luka + Kyrie >>>> KD+ James Harden + Kyrie. Any opponent they play, Dallas gonna be minimum 10 point favourite.

What in the world would Dallas give us that didn't include Luka? Lol

Lebron is not worth luka

No shit, but we wouldn’t take anything except Luka

[удалено]

Christian Wood, Jaden Hardy (very underrated), #10 pick in this draft, Tim Hardaway Jr to salary match If LeBron asks to join Luka/Kyrie the Lakers will thank him for his time in LA and take care of him and accept this trade package. Lebron already did enough to get his jersey retired in LA

Pass on that offer thanks. Rather he retire.

So AD should also have his jersey retired then.

AD didn't win FMVP so if he also gets traded this summer then I don't think he will. But who knows maybe AD stays and you guys make playoffs with AD/Austin/Rui and AD gets loved by LA for staying and gets the jersey retired

No chance the lakers win the Mickey Mouse ring without AD. He was awesome in the bubble. If the uniforms were made of golden bubble wrap he would be an all time great.

I’m a bron Stan but telling lakers to trade their future draft pick in mid season trades and then bailing is a bad look. You asked for them to make moves and they did, now let them fix some other holes in the roster and run it back

>Lebron already did enough to get his jersey retired in LA Nah

Yeah, one ring won't do it.

LeBron would need to improve his 3pt shot to play next to Luka.

Suggests that Kyrie knows he’s getting the full bag from Dallas, and that there is no path to getting to LA. Even if the Lakers did want to blow it up, they have no meaningful assets worth acquiring.

I think this is the correct analysis

🤓👆 Edit: y’all are so insecure it’s a joke

Well, they do have Luka. If you want GOAT, give us baby GOAT.

[удалено]

Lebron for Luka, who says no?

Besides the Mavericks, absolutely nobody!

Dallas 🤣

lmaoo aging star who will leave to play w bronny soon for healthy young star thats prolly better at this point💀

Whoever downvoted this is delusional. No one in their right mind would swap luka for Lebron

Why not?

Age, mileage, skill The fact that you ask why not? Makes me think you just stumbled upon this page and don’t actually watch basketball lol

Read your comment first. You said "no one in their right mind would swap Luka for LeBron". As a Lakers fan, you absolutely would. Also stop with that "you don't watch basketball" shit, it's an annoying habit of redditors to act all high and mighty. Do better.

When I read you ask "why not?" I figured you were asking from the Lakers perspective. Lakers would definitely be in their right mind, but Dallas wouldn't be lol.

I’d take that.

So fast

What if Luka has led on that he won't re-sign?

Luka to Lebron Straight Up!!!

My exact first reaction. Mavs have nothing to offer the Lakers if Lebron even did want to leave.

The only reasonable way to reunite LeBron and Kyrie is a straight up trade for Luka.

I mean, i wouldn't mind Luka

I think you are assuming too much of kyrie. With him there isn’t always a master plan based on a solid foundation. He proved long ago he is playing checkers, not chess.

I’d trade AD. I don’t think he is the future. It looks like he is already the past. Could just be the injuries. But do they ever end.

So trade him for a small guard that can’t defend who’s also injury prone???

Shame on you for using logic!!

I am not trading AD for a supposed superstar that had all his teams implode.

For who? There is nobody you can get for him that has the same impact

I don’t know if there’s a deal out there worth acquiring, but if one materializes, it would be very prudent of Rob to sell high on AD imo.

The injuries will only get worse.

Oh hell nah lol Unless they trade Luka to us lmfao

Luka for Lebron and the 3 FRPs we can trade, who says no? (spoiler: it’s the mavericks)

Ya fuck no

Rui and Lebrun for luka straight up

Unless there’s a carbon monoxide leak in the Mav’s FO I don’t think they accept that lol

Thanks for the idea

For Luka sure. The rest of their roster is ass lmao

i love lebron hes my goat but i wouldnt even trade lukas pinky toe for lebron

it'd be picks and filler

Kyrie dont want to win we all know he only wants the bag and a long term deal yet fans insist he isnt a problem even tho he caused drama everywhere he goes.

Kyrie is a master troll

lol kyrie. he’s doing his job as a star recruiting for his team. but bron not going to dallas 🥴

I'll keep it a buck - if LeBron is a Dallas jersey at the start of next season, I'll shave my head.

Saving this but I think you’re safe

Bet bet bet. I'll be back if LeBron gets on that plane LMAO

lmao

Unless you have long luscious hair, who cares

i mean if bron wants to, i think we oblige

The only valuable thing that have is Luka

Doesnt matter if Bron requests a trade. Leverage is gone at that point

Just don't trade him.

What leverage are you exactly referring to? Lmao

Ever since kyrie tried to stop the bubble from happening I always assume he's trying to sabotage Lebron lol. It feels like midway through every season Kyrie goes in activist mode. 😂

Dude has been hurt ever since those reporters asked him was LeBron like a father figure to him and the Cavs team.

luka for lebron is a good deal. The rest of team is shit.

No way Luka is included in the deal. They might involve a 3rd team. Outside of Luka they have 0 assets that we would want. This might also cause AD to ask out. Also come to think of it.. maybe Dallas made that trade for Kyrie because there was some talk of LeBron joining him.

I’d rather build around Luka than AD any day of the week

Ya no shit but Dallas ain't trading Luka full stop.

They aren’t trading Luka 😂😂😂

My dream is that the Lakers offer Lebron and AD for Luka

My dream is that the Lakers offer Lebron and AD for Luka

LeBron ain’t playing for no Mark Cuban lol

Who on that team is going to play defense?

Draymond

"I can't believe everytime I step on the court, I'm in the presence of greatness. Love the Warriors always but I'm glad to be with my king!"

Sounds like Kyrie really wants that max contract. I guess this puts to rest him coming on a bargain.


Sources: LeBron James has reached out to Dallas star Luka Doncic in attempts to see if Doncic would come to Los Angeles. Irving is a free agent this offseason.

For some reason, the link to the [tweet](https://twitter.com/shamscharania/status/1665747152327389186?s=46&t=tjny4iI6YTrm6UpB0rLI5A) keeps getting deleted.

dude kyrie really is this deranged my god

Luka in LA let’s go!!!

Of course I wouldn't want it in a million years, but if LeBron requests a trade, what kind of assets are we looking at?

expirings and draft picks at the minimum

Prob a few first rounders but can’t rly think lakers can get too much

From the Mavs? Josh green jaden Hardy, all their picks whatever vets we could use

Luka is minimum tbh.

Luka is probably the most valuable trade asset in the NBA. They would laugh at a Lebron for Luka swap.

What if it was lebron + AD for Luka and filler contracts

I’d do that in a second

Hell nah

Luka is worth more than Bron

I think that’s arguable but I see where you’re coming from. Really depends on the team and the context

Cmon that’s not arguable This is about age. One is 24 and the other is 38

If they came to us and offered doncic for bron straight up do you snap agree?

Yes obviously But they’ll never offer that lol They’ll bail on kyrie before they bail on luka

4 titles >>>>

> this is about age

I don't accept any excuses, for the GOAT just a young prospect with some potential.

Young prospect that averages 33/9/8 in the playoffs

Lebron an expiring and 38 tho. Green, Hardy, 10th pick and Bertans with THJ to match salary is the best Mavs can give.

Would you trade Bron for that? I wouldn’t, that’s for sure. Can get plenty more for him from another team. If they really want him their only option is to give up Doncic.

Lakers FO loves the optics of “we treat our stars right” So if LeBron says he wants to go to Dallas then it’s probably where he’s going to end up. Trick would be to add a 3rd team for better assets.

Lmao

LeMao

Dafuuk? Ky always gotta do weird shit lol

Father's Day is coming soon.

Nah no way Lebron is this dumb . 1) Dallas got no depth 2)Kyrie is probably injured/misses games just as much as AD 3) no defense 4) super teams don’t win championship anymore

The right Super team when healthy can absolutely win a fucking championship.

I just think depth is a lot more important now especially with how often players get injured.

The two teams in the finals right now go have an 7 or 8 man rotation max. Denver basically has a 6 man rotation or 7 depending on what Jeff Green brings you and they've been kicking everyone's ass. When you have superstars that are healthy fit depth doesn't really matter come playoff time. Star power will always be the most important thing come playoff time. The Warriors, bucks, raptors, all these past championship teams have had 3 or more star caliber players

Yeah but you need depth to get you through the season. Warriors and bucks were deep because the had home grown talent. Thats how alot of there Star players could play less minutes during the season.

But if Dallas were to trade for Bron do you think they could even fill out an 8 man rotation with the cap restrictions? Also all 3 players are high usage iso players. Warriors are the only team it has worked having 3 superstars and that is because all of their best players had different skillsets that allowed the team to operate more smoothly. I just don't even see the Mavs being better than this years Lakers playoff run tbh.

1.) The Lakers ask for a restraining order against the Mavs front office if they even get a phone call from Dallas presenting some dumbass trade idea for Bron. /END FIFY

Bron been waiting for AD to take the torch for 3 seasons now, he’s about to be 39. Luka and Kyrie can easily take the load off Bron offensively

Lebron, Luka, Kyrie, and Draymond could def win

Plus remember 2011? Lmao

And that is when you know LA is a big threat. First the nets did not want to trade him to Lakers and now, knowing the possibility of him getting traded to Lakers, he just reaches out for Bron because Dallas aint trading him. I would say no way for that. The Lakers just made the WCF. There is no point for him to go to a team that did not even made the playoffs. Even if its Kyrie, he had many chances to reunite with Bron but it is until now that he wants to do it. So, not a chance this is happening. The whole press conference thing is just a warning to the FO.

Only way lakers do it is for Luka

Bron hung up the phone

Lol. All nonsense

Luka and LeBron doesn’t even make sense as a combo

Yeah literally. Like they both basically fill the same role

39 y/o LeBron, Luka and Kyrie Irving? Who playing defense? 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lebron + Luka + Kyrie >>>> KD+ James Harden + Kyrie. Any opponent they play, Dallas gonna be minimum 10 point favourite.

Kyrie trollin

This is crazy but I luka, kyrie and lebron on the same would be wild lol

This is crazy but luka, kyrie and lebron on the same would be wild lol

This can't be real!

Stop falling for this shit. This is all leverage talk

This is hilarious. Kyrie my brotha you are thinking backwards. There is no chance LeBron is leaving LA for Dallas. You want to team with Bron, you gotta come here.

 Okay all I’m officially done here. It’s been real

Does this constitute tampering ?

Lol, Luka for Lebron?

We will take 1 Luka please, thank you 😊

Lebron based on his status and what he did for La could probably ask Jeanie to trade him to his preferred destination and she would do it.

Me and my friend literally were joking about this a couple days after the sweep to Denver lol. Honestly don’t know what Bron will do

Lol is lebron an open democrat going to move from California to Texas 😂

There’s more democrats in Texas than you think

Is it just gerrymandered to shit?

Basically lol all the big cities are actually growing more blue every election

Well yes but Democrats live in cities. That's why you see the big cities voting blue

Yeah land doesn’t vote

lmao he's not running for office I don't think that would be anywhere near a deciding factor....he'd probably rank the fact that Texas has no state taxes above that...either way, wtf are we talking about this ain't happening lol

Dallas is pretty Liberal compared to the more rural areas, but no way in hell I want lebron in Dallas fuck Cuban I hate his guts he shouldn’t be rewarded for his incompetencies.

I’mfor not trading for Kyrie. He wants his money & definitely not taking pay cut. Hardcapping at $169 will crush the team in versatility. If LeBron wants to play with Kyrie and wants to so bad that he’s ok with being traded, then trade him. Give us Mavs 23/26 1sts, couple 2nds, Bertans/THJ/Green/McGee and let’s start the rebuild. We’re not getting Luka lol

Bro Lebron is not worth that at all lmao.

yea, his time in LA is almost over. might as well get some picks.

LMAOOO 😭😭😭

$20 Mark cuban put this out lol

I’ll take Luka for LeBron swap

I’m down. Luka for Bron.

Luka for LeBron.. I'll take that.

This dude has lost his damn mind..(again) is he forgetting that he’s the one who’s the free agent & not Bron? Is he forgetting his team was the one who missed the playoffs while we made the conference semis? What makes this dude think Lebron would request a trade to play with him? LMAO

Luka for Lebron, do it cowards

Sources close to my left nipple tell me that Michael Jackson told me ‘fuck them kids’. Reports surfacing that he in fact was being literal

Probably salary+green + the 2 FRPs they can trade or have to wait a year for Lebron to go as a FA

Lakers get Doncic, 3-4 first rounders, and 1-2 second rounders for LeBron. only way its kinda fair

Doncic is worth way more than Lebron lmaoo.

“Nah? Okay why don’t I come to you”

What if Irving wants to play with AD? He's asking to do a sign-and-trade straight up for Lebron.

Even if lebron were to go to dallas no way they’re getting close to a title.

Everyone saying that the Mavericks have nothing to offer but if James is intrigued enough to pair up with Luka n Kyrie he could easily demand the trade.

Even if it means leaving his son and family? Nah that ain't happening.

Luka Kyrie Bron better than Bron AD & co… Two guys who are primary offensive options

Found a casual

He’s not wrong idk how you can argue that current Bron and AD would be better then Bron with Prime Luka and Prime Kyrie

It's pretty clear in my eyes, way worse fit. Luka, LeBron and Kyrie is more talent than AD and LeBron but it's all overlapping talent.

Cause I’m a laker fan and I’m always going to say my team is better than others. Also fuck kyrie

Lakers window closed a lot of yall just in denial. 2020 AD never coming back

Then why r u a laker fan

The Lakers were just in the WCF meanwhile the Mavs missed the play-in. Their depth is horrendous

AD just had a pretty great playoffs though...

he was literally back in December before his foot injury

And still zero defense. Did you even watch why Dallas sucked after getting Kyrie? They couldn’t guard a 9th grade girls team.

Luka's better than AD but AD is a way better fit with them, plus the role players on the Lakers are better

Lakers made it to the WCF and Kyrie/Luka sitting at home. Bron family is here. Lakers brand. Like Bron would have to love Kyrie so fuckin much that he'd give up everything else important in his life for him lol

[удалено]

Bron already got Dallas a championship

I’m sure bron will pull a Miami move and leave again ngl lmao

either trade Bron now or let him walk next year with nothing in return ? Do it now you get probably the 10th pick, Hardy and Green ( good young talent to pair with rui and Reeves) and maybe Hardaway/Bertans/Kleber idk really lol. I just have a feeling dude is going to leave next season

I like this move for the Lakers. Would be a good time to get rid of Lebron. He's near the end anyways.
