If the lakers were willing to trade two first-round picks Kyrie Irving would likely be on the Los Angeles Lakers right now but the issue is they haven’t been willing to do that so far and the nets went to first for kyrie and I feel like there are circumstances where the lakers should give up two firsts to bring in Kyrie Irving.
But trading for kyrie and Joe Harris is not one of them in my opinion, because Joe Harris although his contract is expiring after this upcoming season, he’s coming off of injury and then Kyrie Irving he’s on an expiring deal.
So maybe things don’t work out in lakers, and he wants to leave the team or something goes wrong and you just gave up two first-round picks, I just think that this trade is a bit of a questionable one, I mean Russell Westbrook is on an expiring contract this upcoming season.
So the lakers would be off of his money next off season, so do they want to trade two first round picks to bring in another guy in Kyrie Irving who’s on an expiring contract along with Joe Harris, I’m not sure but if they were able to get kyrie and Seth curry, i feel like that could be a little bit different, because Kyrie Irving and Seth curry are both shot creators.
I mean Kyrie Irving he’s one of the best shot creators in the game, he’s able to make his own shot he’s able to get buckets he’s able to play make for his teammates and Seth curry’s a guy who can get his own shot as well, I know Seth curry’s contract’s expiring, but I feel like he could bring a lot to the table for lakers and if I was the lakers, I might be willing to do that trade now here’s another scenario the lakers trade away Russell Westbrook that and Kendrick Nunn along with two first for Kyrie Irving, Seth Curry and Joe Harris now this one is a pretty big move if you’re the lakers.
but you’re bringing in three guys who can space the floor the lakers really need that and I feel like this could be a solid move if you’re the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn nets bring in Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn and that three players who could help them in this upcoming season.
They get two future draft picks now if the lakers are going to take a trade where they are only bringing back Kyrie Irving and Joe Harris while trading away two first-round picks, I feel like there needs to be significant protections on them whether that is at least, I would say a top five protection on those picks, or maybe you even go a little bit further with those protections, I’m not exactly sure but I don’t think you should trade two unprotected first round picks and Russell Westbrook for Kyrie Irving and Joe Harris I just don’t think that is the smartest move if you’re the lakers and also the lakers have some leverage here, because they could just say well if we back out of this trade you all get no picks and then Kyrie Irving can just join us in the upcoming off season.
It seems like kyrie he wants to be a Los Angeles Lakers and if that doesn’t change throughout the season, I mean the nets just lost an opportunity to get a future draft pick and that looks bad if you’re Brooklyn Nets.
