Los Angeles Lakers: 5 reasons to go after Kyrie Irving this summer

1. Brings more excitement back to Staples Center

While its true that Los Angeles loves star power.

Whether it’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Clayton Kershaw with the Los Angeles Dodgers or Todd Gurley with the Los Angeles Rams, one thing Los Angelenos love more than anything is a player who can mix flash and highlight reel plays with big-time production.

Look no further than Kyrie Irving to accomplish that.

Not since the days of Magic Johnson would the Lakers have a point guard that electrified the crowd into a state of frenzy. Whether it’s with a no-look pass, crazy handles or ankle-breaking crossovers, Kyrie would bring a different level of excitement to Staples.

If the Lakers were able to add Anthony Davis via trade, you would have highlight reels on a nightly basis. Nightly lobs to Anthony Davis, Kyrie breaking every ankle in sight and LeBron with thunderous slams in transition.

With cap space to spend, numerous trade assets at their disposal and the bright lights of LA, can LeBron and Kyrie join together for another championship? Here’s hoping we find out.
