Massive Blockbuster Trade Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving For Anthony Davis & Russell Westbrook A Real Possibility?

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets are two teams that have been falling short of expectations this season. The former currently stand with a 3-10 record, while the latter boast a 6-8 record. It may be early in the season, but it’s obvious that both teams have to figure something out before things get even uglier.

Just two years ago, fans were anticipating a Lakers-Nets Finals matchup at one point in the near future, but none of these two teams really came close to reaching that stage. Now, it seems that fans and pundits alike are now expecting a major roster change from both teams amid their shaky start.

So what about a trade that sends Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook?

It may sound crazy, but Ric Bucher of FOX Sports spoke to multiple general managers who believe that this insane deal could in fact turn into reality. 

“Way too early to call,” a second Eastern Conference GM said. “It makes some sense for both, but Kyrie is such a wild card right now.”…

… a Western Conference scout believes the Nets should be more eager to make a change.

“The Nets should be highly motivated to move the albatross of the modern NBA and receive value,” the scout said, referring to Irving. “Otherwise, he walks this summer and the Nets get nothing. The Nets need size, and they have urgency for this season. I think the Lakers are looking a year down the road.”

“Any rebuild,” the GM said, “would begin if and when KD wants out.”
