Where do you see him ending up? What team would be a better fit for him?

Lakers, Knicks Emerging as Potential Kyrie Irving Suitors, per Report - Sports Illustrated

Will Kyrie Irving leave Brooklyn this summer?

[Wagerallsports]

He can be one of the best but imo doesn't have the heart full time

 

[Orbison]

i don't think he or the franchise want to separate from one another until they see their lineup play at least 1 full season together, preferably 2

Simmons and Harris will be back plus they have good guard depth with Curry and Mills

obviously they'll need to sort out their PF & C situation though - will Aldridge and Griffin be back? i'm sure they'll have some half-decent options for interior defense and a rim runner from the ring chaser pool

 

[Tanko]

Lakers??? Wow.

 

[BobbyFK]

Lakers??? Wow.

yeah that was a surprise to me too seeing them in the mix for him

 

[MinnesotaFats]

I'm just going to throw this out there....

Kyrie is very active w the Lakota tribe here in Minny.

VERY ACTIVE

Minny is a Irving type talent away from winning 55 games.

 

[Tanko]

Really. Timberwolves. I can't see it.
I would expect he stay where he's at before moving to Minny.
Of course, money talks so you never know.

This one's not money- he's getting max money anywhere.

He is a different type of dude, as we all know, and he takes frequent trips to the Dakotas here to seek spiritual advice from his Lakota roots.

If he wants a ring, this might actually not be a bad spot. Could do any type of deal he wants w A Rod, Plus he can do a recruiting tour...

Hell, Correa loving it here w the Twins.

 

[Tanko]

Yeah. I was shocked Correra took Twins contract.
What the hell is the "Lakota". Some kind of indian witchcraft?

No, it's the tribe that controlled the northern plains. There are 7 Lakota cultures and some very prominent warriors/ leaders:

Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull

Soiux is the name given to a union of warring DAKOTA tribes, there are 3 sub cultures of Dakota as well, so that's why it was deemed 'offensive' thou everyone in NoDak still refers to the school as the Fighting Souix.

Both Lakota & Dakota & Cheyenne & Chippewa lived in the northern woods and plains of Wisc- Idaho.

Charles Eastman founded the Boy Scouts, he was Dakota, and is credited w being the 1st native to actually write and document their history...as all history was verbal till late 19th century.

[Wagerallsports]

He resigned with Jersey

Didn't really have a choice

 

[Bubbles]

not in lakers. there's no way kyrie wants to play with lebron again. kyrie left cavs so that he can step out of lebron's shadow.

 

[carolinakid]

to me he is a cancer now on any team

 

[Wagerallsports]

I've totally forgotten has New Jersey lifted their covid restrictions so he can play at home now?

 

[JDS]

[Wagerallsports]

Ben Simmons is the softest fuckin’ mut in the history of the NBA. For his sake as a man. I hope he can prove me wrong for the remainder of his career.
