Kyrie Irving’s connection to LeBron James is not a secret. Even after he left LeBron in Cleveland to do his own thing (which certainly has been a mixed bag for the mercurial point guard), the possibility of Irving one day reuniting with James for another run at a title has been a frequently discussed topic.
That has certainly been the case heading into this offseason, with innumerable talk show segments devoted to the process the Los Angeles Lakers would have to undergo to make room to sign Irving. The alternative was never considered, though: that LeBron could join Kyrie and Luka Doncic in Dallas.
