LeBron James comments speak volumes as LA Lakers stance on Kyrie Irving emerges

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly uninterested in pursuing Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving in free agency - and it seems LeBron James would agree with that stance given their run to the Western Conference semi-finals.

Despite only arriving in Dallas during February, Irving is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, which has already begun for the Mavericks after missing out on the postseason entirely. It was widely reported that the Lakers were interested in acquiring the eight-time all-star from the Brooklyn Nets ahead of the trade deadline.

James admitted as much after the deal went down. The Lakers forward made clear his disappointment at the front office for not taking the opportunity to reunite the former Cleveland Cavaliers team-mates.
