Two years ago, Kyrie Irving forced his way out of Cleveland because he didn’t like how LeBron James treated him like a little brother. It seems like Kyrie has changed his tune about LeBron and might be willing to reunite with his former Cavs teammate in LA according to a report from Ric Bucher.
Kyrie Irving is extremely serious about rejoining LeBron in LA, per @RicBucher.

The Lakers are also close to landing Anthony Davis via trade which means Los Angeles could form a superteam to compete with the Warriors next season if all goes according to plan.
