“I can’t articulate how little LeBron cares about the Lakers’ 2029 first-round pick.. He doesn’t care about first-round draft picks when they’re on his team. He wants to win tonight, and Kyrie Irving gives him a chance tonight.”Brian Windhorst:“I can’t articulate how little LeBron cares about the Lakers’ 2029 first-round pick..

Everything is a massive holding pattern. It still feels like the only team that's out there that is legitimate, that really wants Kyrie, that's the Lakers. And, if you're Sean Marks and the Nets, you're saying to Rob Pelinka, 'Show me the draft picks.'" After discussing how James' request for Irving might force Pelinka to make a deal, he continued: "It's a multi-million dollar staring contest right now. The Nets are saying, 'You want him bad enough? You want to win? Then show us the draft capital.' And the Lakers are saying, 'We're the only team that wants to push anyway.' They have a big problem on both sides." There is still a lot of time before training camp to seal the deal. Of course, if another team does not swoop in to acquire Irving.
