Los Angeles Lakers is about to stop interesting with Kyrie Irving?

Published:2022-07-06 By Biển Đen(Meta Sports) Comments
Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets have negotiated about the case of Kyrie Irving as well as Russell Westbrook, but it seems that the distance between the two sides is quite far.

The story of Kyrie Irving's next destination seems to be in the opening stage, when the first negotiations between La Lakers and Brooklyn Nets did not progress much.

Even the journalist Shams Charania of The Athletic claimed that the two sides were not found any common voice and the deal at risk of breaking.

The representative of the two teams started meeting earlier this week to negotiate a exchange with Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook. It is also the only common point in the minds of both parties.

After Kevin Durant asked to leave, Brooklyn Nets seemed to be ready to enter the re-resuscitation and no doubt to receive the USD salary of Westbrook.

Beyond that, though, the Nets are hoping to grab plenty of first-round picks to make up for what they lost to the Houston Rockets in the James Harden trade.

This is considered to be the biggest problem in the negotiations. After the Anthony Davis trade, the Lakers also lost a lot of draft picks, and they don't want to throw away their whole future.

In addition, the Lakers and Nets also have differences on which player to add to balance the salary. Barclays Central wants to push Joe Harris away, while the West representative wants Seth Curry.

At this point, the talks have reached a dead end, although they are all eager to exchange places between Owen and Westbrook. As negotiations lengthen, the Lakers may have to look for other options to prepare for the final year of their contract with LeBron James. For them, the focus at this time is to lower books.
