Jalen Rose Believes LeBron James Won’t Win Another Championship If The Lakers Don’t Trade For Kyrie Irving
Following an embarrassing 2021-22 campaign, it’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers have been looking out for ways to move on from Russell Westbrook. One solution that they’ve been working on is to trade him for Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving.
From the start, the Lakers are figured to be a significant candidate to acquire the 30-year old point guard. However, both the Lakers and the Nets couldn’t seem to get a deal done, with a recent report from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst suggesting that the Nets may want to run it back with Irving.
As the possibility of Irving being a Laker remains to be up in the air, former NBA player and media personality Jalen Rose now said that LeBron James won’t win another title with the Lakers if they can’t get a player like Irving.
“If they get Kyrie Irving to go with AD & LeBron, that makes them a clear Big 3 and that makes them a contending team immediately. If they don’t add a player like that, LeBron won’t win another championship with the Lakers.”
“If LeBron is going to win another championship, one player is gonna make it happen: Kyrie Irving. If they get Kyrie Irving, that makes [the Lakers] a contending team immediately.”
