Kyrie has a Lakers shirt on which tells me one thing: he’s getting traded there for Russ via 3 team trade

[Dave McMenamin @mcten]

Full transcript of LeBron James’ answers tonight condemning Kyrie Irving’s social media posts and subsequent statements as “harmful”:

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

*5-6 whoops

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Not happening. 4-5

[Obed 🇬🇭 @Agyei1Obed]

@AllenSliwa 2-9 before the Kings

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

0. With Kyrie, Joe Harris, Bron, AD and an athletic big to protect the rim, lakers will be unbeatable. You have 3 of the most offensively skilled players in nba history and also 3 of the best scorers in nba history also

[Ricky @MrRickySpanish]

How many teams do you see that would be heavily favored to beat a healthy Lakers team in a 7 game series?

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Nigga trading Russ definitely solves the problem foh. You need shooting and size to improve the team. Kyrie, Joe Harris and a big does exactly that

[The Let It Ride Podcast @TheLetitRidePod]

@omarshamout @AllenSliwa Jeanie is loyal to a fault…but you hit the nail on the head, trading Russ is not goin to solve the problem, the roster was not constructed well at all and whatever Russ and those picks brings back isn’t going to move the needle enough to make mortgaging the future worth it

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Nope. Still early

[FRESHNESS @SocietyLakers]

@AllenSliwa season is over

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

It’s Kyrie, Joe Harris, Bron, AD and a rim protecting big
You have Dennis off the bench with Lonnie, reaves, JTA, etc.

[Sean Davis @Sean_Davi]

Rotation when we get healthy should be

Dennis
Lonnie
Reaves
LeBron
AD

Russ
Pat Bev
Troy Brown Jr
JTA
Thomas Bryant

Other: (Wenyen, Nunn, Ryan)
Out: Damian

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

You need another guy to create his own shot tho, not just Bron. That’s where you get Kyrie and bring him in the picture next to Bron as another guy who can create his own shot. Bron is doing too much right now

[Gregg Diggs @GreggDiggs6]

@kai11x2 We don’t need Kyrie, he’s too stupid to be a Laker!! A little more focus on everybody’s part shooting shots especially foul shooting!!! Matt Ryan can shoot turn him loose!!

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

2002-03 Lakers were 2-6 through 8 games and made the playoffs. Lot of time left but once the Lakers make the necessary trade to get shooting (Kyrie) & big help next to AD, I like my chances

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Nah I’m trading Russ. Just bc he’s had a good few games don’t mean anything to me. He’s better off elsewhere with free reign all by himself. I’d rather have Kyrie over Russ any day of the week. Yes Ik Kyrie needs to be on his best behavior if he wants to be a Laker

[PharaohdaKing 👑 @Pharaoh_MIOM]

@kai11x2 I rather trade Kendrick Nunn & them 2 first round picks Respectfully I actually want Russ to stay now idc 😭😤

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Good job holding yourself accountable AD. That’s what I’m talking about

[Kyle Goon @kylegoon]

Anthony Davis put the onus on himself after scoring just 2 points in the second half on four shots: "(I need to be) demanding the ball. Had some good looks, missed them. I can’t allow myself to go four, five or six minutes without getting a shot, whether I start hot or not."

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Russ I respect you but you gotta go man. Appreciate what you’re doing the last few games but it’s just time to part ways & trade you

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Rob pelinka get on the phone with Brooklyn or Indiana. Stop wasting your damn time and get a fucking deal done already

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Yea that’s why I’m not worried early in the season it’s only 8 games in. Lakers will round into form when they need to. They just need a big, some more defense & Kyrie (if Brooklyn trades him & is on his best behavior). Again we gon see what happens after Kai’s suspension is up

[CL Owens 🏀 🇺🇸 @CSmoove_Sports]

@kai11x2 Yeah it's only 3 weeks in. Film will catch up to them. In a few weeks teams will play Markkanen way different than now. The Jazz bigs are playing both way in paint and on perimeter. But scouting is going to make them choose one in a month or so.

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

@KyrieIrving come on down to LA bro, Bron giving you love, time to lace up the purple and gold and win number 18 for the laker faithful

[Kyle Goon @kylegoon]

LeBron James, asked by @mcten about Kyrie Irving, said he doesn’t condone any hate of any kind. He says he loves Kyrie, but: “I believe what Kyrie did caused some harm to a lot of people.” He hopes Kyrie understands that.

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

I don’t see Utah in the playoffs. I just don’t. They’re rebuilding and they’re going to tank for the French kid whether it’s later in the season or what not. Still early in the season

[CL Owens 🏀 🇺🇸 @CSmoove_Sports]

Gonna be nice to see how the Jazz concept works come post season. They play a team game, but in the playoffs you gotta have a possession dog. I don't think Markkanen can carry them like that.

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Lakers would be 7-1 right now with Kyrie or Buddy Hield & Myles Turner

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Get Kyrie and another big and we’re in business

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Also AD needs to be aggressive more in the second half. Disengaged after having a great first half. Need to get on him for not playing 2 complete halves and dominating. 22 is unacceptable. He needs to give me close to 30 every night to dominate. Haven’t seen that yet

[KAI to LA January 2023 @kai11x2]

Dating back to last year also, it’s just getting out of hand here smh

[CL Owens 🏀 🇺🇸 @CSmoove_Sports]

@kai11x2 I don't know what Brooklyn wants to do, we'll see what happens if he sits more than 5 games. But yeah the refs have called basically nothing for LeBron all year
