Kyrie Irving Rumored to Have One Preferred Destination, per Report

As the negotiations between Kyrie Irving and the Nets continue, it appears that the All-Star point guard has zeroed in on his preferred next team.

Irving has provided Brooklyn with a list of teams he’d prefer the team to execute a sign-and-trade with, but his actual goal is reportedly to end up on the Lakers, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic. Amick also says that LeBron James is “very open to the idea” of teaming up with Irving once more.

The first domino to fall in this scenario is for Irving to opt in or out of his $36.9 million player option for next season, which he must decide to do by Wednesday. Any formal discussions on a sign-and-trade can’t happen until 6 p.m. ET on Thursday.
