Lakers and Nets are actively active, Kyrie Irving bombing - Russell Westbrook will go off?
It was updated by a number of credit writers, Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are actively negotiating for a summer bombing exchange.
Yahoo Sports reporter Chris Haines added that the two sides are making positive changes in the negotiations, but there are still many obstacles to be broken.
On Brooklyn's side, they want more high-quality pitchers to add "lubrication", while the Nets also want pitchers Joe Harris (with two years left in his contract and a total salary of $38.6 million) and Carey to go in the opposite direction.
The Los Angeles Lakers don't want Harris because he has just had ankle surgery, a return date is unknown, and his salary is quite high.
Instead, the Purple and Yellow team want the services of "Gunners" Seth Curry, a pitcher who will earn $8.5 million in salary for the 2023-24 season.
Back at the negotiating table, the two protagonists, Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook, have just started the player option and officially "entered" the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers in the 2022-23 season respectively.
Carey received a salary of $36.5 million, and Westbrook will have $47 million. This difference is also the reason why the two host teams have a headache and can't find a common voice in the negotiation stage.
Famous journalist Shams Chalania further pointed out that although the Brooklyn Nets wanted Westbrook's services, they were not in a hurry.
They will patiently find the best solution around Carey-Lars' level team and coordinate possible parallel deals around Kevin Durant.
It will take more time for this conversion bomb to be activated. But with the positive in the negotiation of both sides, the reunion between LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in Los Angeles Lakers shirt will likely take place right this summer.
