Kyrie Irving and LeBron James will still team up for the Lakers: 28 NBA trade deadline thoughts

New York Times  

Twenty-eight thoughts after a furious trade deadline that caused shifts in the NBA … or did they? I’d predicted Russell Westbrook had played his last game for the Lakers, I’d just spoken with Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks not 24 hours earlier and had no idea Brooklyn was going to trade Kevin Durant. The three biggest trades at the 2023 NBA trade deadline featured three of the sport’s biggest stars who were so upset, so uncomfortable, in situations they chose that they could not play another game for their respective teams. Infusing the roster with D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt, for Westbrook, and Mo Bamba for Pat Beverley, should help make the final two months more palatable on the Lakers. James’ last Cavs team, in 2018, had severe locker room dysfunction and on trade deadline day literally moved half the roster.
