It’s become pretty apparent that Kyrie Irving has played his last game after the Celtics were eliminated from the playoffs by the Bucks.

Kyrie and his Celtics teammates have struggled with chemistry issues all year and it seems like the team’s playoff run may have been the final straw for everyone.

Just a few days ago, a player who chose to remain anonymous told Jeff Goodman of Stadium that Kyrie is “hard to play with” despite having great talent.

“everyone respects [Irving’s] talent, but he’s hard to play with. It’s all about him.”

Brian Windhorst of ESPN is now reporting that Kyrie is seriously considering reuniting with LeBron in L.A. next season.

As time passes here, I would’ve said that this is impossible for many months. But as time passes here and as the possibility exists that Jason Kidd could be hired as the Lakers coach, I think the possibility of Kyrie and LeBron reuniting — that door, which was deadbolted, has been un-deadbolted and has now been cracked open … It might even be opening more by the day. And I say that just because I think it’s on Kyrie’s radar, it’s on Kyrie’s board. He has had discussions with people about playing for the Lakers.”

Despite having a falling out a few years ago Kyrie seems to have patched things with LeBron when he called him to apologize earlier this season.

Considering the troubles Kyrie and LeBron are having with their teammates it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to team up again.
