While Lakers fans have pondered whether the purple and gold could trade D’Angelo Russell in a deal for Kyrie Irving, the Dallas Mavericks have some thoughts of their own, as Marc Stein shared in his Substack. Trevor Lane breaks it down….

Trade Lebrik for Luka? Now that's a hell of a trade ..
Dlo for irving is sooo unfair…lol
We dont need kyrie, we just need to continue to gel as a team.
DLO is signing with the Nets. You heard it here first. They need a PG and he was an all-star for them not too long ago. I hope I'm wrong and the Lakers keep him. Yes he was unplayable against Denver, but how quickly we forget what he did for us before that. He won some games for us in the Memphis and GS series. Give the guy a chance.
If they signed Dlo for 20M I wouldn't see it as a bad contract but they should focus on Austin and Rui deals first
"Hell no"
The people saying release Dlo are some of the most ignorant fans I've ever heard. If any were in charge of this team it would quickly be a lottery team.
DLo gotta go.
i can't be the only one who feels kyrie to lakers shouldn't be given any air time at all? it's not going to happen
If im the Lakers reeves would have to walk. I am not prioritizing him over Kyrie, that is asinine. Rui is a better player than Reeves. Kyrie and Rui should be the priority.
Keep dlo ass then. Teams friendly deal? Don't say crap when it's winning time and he can't defend hiis shadow. I saw enough
Lmao #Mavs don’t want or need DLO. We’re 100% gucci with the #Luka & #Kyrie
Dame Time 🫰
No Kyrie. I hate desperate off seasons. The team needs some tweaking, not an overhaul. The Lakers are not here for LeBron, LeBron is here for the Lakers.
All we need is a true closer thats it
Let's see … Kyrie 1) can't/doesn't defend a soul, 2) attitude/effort is up and down, 3) injury prone, 4) plays for an owner in Cuban that will try to fleece us in any trade. Let's not and say we did.
Honestly the lakers should run it back with a few tweaks by signing brook Lopez as the starting center sign Tristan Thompson as the back up center move AD to the four have a quality back up to AD like what markeef Morris was when we won the championship like a torey Craig also trade Malik Beasley for buddy heild and trade dlo for Fred van vleet or Terry rozier preferably Terry rozier because he is a bit more efficient bigger in size to guard 1 and 2's and he's coming off his best statistical season
Bring him back
Just bring back most of the roster except Beasley, draft well, elevate Max Christie to a key role off the bench, sign an elite athletic, rebounding+defensive big with Mid level exception.
With a good off season regimen, healthy AD and Lebron wirh a full camp ahead of the season, the ceiling for this team cud certainly be raised…..no doubt.
This team does not need the Kyrie headache….
Kyrie, by design, is in no rush to sign a max either. I believe that’s letting Lakers know if they can negotiate the sign and trade for Irving then by all means. I’m sure Cuban already offered the max soon as the season ended. Chess not checkers.
Lol everybody watched the playoffs not just the Lakers 😅
I'm a DLO n Lakers fan the Lakers should resign DLO n keep him wit the core they go need him
Skip Irving get Ja Morant! Anyone listening?
