LeBron James-Kyrie Irving reunion could hinge on this Lakers scenario

“If you guys will have me back.”

That was preseason caveat Kyrie Irving left with raucous Celtics fans of his plans to re-sign the following summer.

Eight months of misery later, they may not. But could LeBron James be open to a reunion?

Irving has had “discussions with people about playing for the Lakers,” ESPN reported Saturday, another sign his much-maligned time as a Celtic may be over.

“But as time passes here and as the possibility exists that Jason Kidd could be hired as the Lakers coach, I think the possibility of Kyrie and LeBron reuniting — that door, which was deadbolted, has been un-deadbolted and has now been cracked open … It might even be opening more by the day,” Brian Windhorst said on-air, via Hoops Hype.
