“Kyrie walked out on LeBron, it’s not like Kyrie was just following behind LeBron like a puppy” - Chris Broussard says he’s not "feeling" a potential Kyrie Irving-LeBron James reunion

NBA headlines have been dominated by rumors of a potential reunion between Kyrie Irving and LeBron James. Analysts have reported that the LA Lakers could attempt to acquire the Brooklyn Nets guard at the behest of James.

However, Chris Broussard thinks otherwise. He believes the prospect of James reuniting with Irving after the latter's impromptu exit from the Cleveland Cavaliers is non-existent.

He highlighted how Kyrie Irving "walked out" on James despite winning a title in 2016.

"Kyrie walked out on LeBron," Broussard said on FOX Sports Radio. "It's not like Kyrie was just following behind LeBron like a puppy dog doing whatever he wanted. He left there after winning a championship, and LeBron wanted to meet with him, and Kyrie didn't give him the time and the date. Kyrie is so mercurial, so unpredictable that, who's to say six week into the season he wouldn't turn on LeBron? I'm not feeling this."

Is Kyrie Irving's reunion with LeBron James the answer the LA Lakers seek?

LeBron James #23 and Kyrie Irving #2 of the Cleveland Cavaliers talk at mid court in the first half against the Toronto Raptors in game one of the Eastern Conference Finals during the 2016 NBA Playoffs at Quicken Loans Arena on May 17, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio.

In the 2021 offseason, the LA Lakers went to the market to find an extraordinary point guard to solidify their title challenge. They secured Russell Westbrook, but the former Thunder guard has not lived up to expectations.

Due to his terrible run in the previous season, he could be included in a deal to Irving to LA. But it has been reported that the Nets are not enthused about the offer.

Irving’s talent has never been in question, but his off-field antics have often been detrimental to his team. He is certainly not what the Lakers need to solve their woes.
