With Kyrie Irving requesting a trade from the Nets, Brooklyn has a week to find a deal before the trade deadline passes on Feb. 9. Initially, three teams are reportedly interested in a potential deal, including the Lakers. That is consistent with the reports over the summer that the Lakers were considering offering multiple first-round picks to the Nets for Irving.
As Twitter was reacting to the news, one of the best Lakers ever gave his support for the team to try and acquire Irving. Magic Johnson tweeted that he would love to see Irving in Los Angeles playing next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
“Personally, I’d love to see Kyrie in the purple and gold,” Johnson tweeted.
