LeBron James and Kyrie Irving theory suggested as NBA star hits free agency

Kyrie Irving will be an unrestricted free-agent this summer after his short-term deal with the Dallas Mavericks came to an end, and it's been suggested that LeBron James could push again for the Los Angeles Lakers to sign him.

James is a huge admirer of Irving and the pair won an NBA Championship together back in 2016 with the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was the first ever NBA title for the franchise, and it's been speculated ever since the two parted ways that one day they could link-up again.

Irving was wanted by James during the 2022/23 regular season, and the Lakers forward was upset when the former Brooklyn Nets star joined the Mavericks instead. But it's been suggested that James could put pressure on the front office again now that Irving is available.
