Rumor: the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly planning to finalizing a summer deal offer for Kyrie Irving of the Mavs.

LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers stood pat at the NBA trade deadline, but they’re reportedly planning to chase stars in the offseason, including Dallas Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving.

The middle-of-the-pack Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly planning to pursue star players in the offseason, including Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks, after remaining silent during the NBA trade deadline. and there might be a high cost.

As for the Lakers going forward, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports that they intend to use the three picks they will have this summer—2031, 2029, and either 2024 or 2025, depending on which pick the New Orleans Pelicans decide to receive as part of their return for the 2019 Anthony Davis trade—to pursue a star through trade.

Donovan Mitchell, Trae Young, and Kyrie Irving are three possible targets, according to league and team sources. The Athletic has already covered the team’s interest in Irving and Young.

Over the past few years, Irving has been associated with the Lakers multiple times; however, he has also attempted to lure LeBron James to Dallas. Even though the Mavs, who will have very little draft capital available for the foreseeable future, would find three first-round picks tempting, it would not be wise to trade away Luka Doncic’s co-star soon after P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford were added as key roster additions.
