Summary

The should they/shouldn't they debate around the Lakers barely had a chance to get going before news came Sunday that the Nets were trading Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks for Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie and picks. It all happened pretty quick, and a few things have become relatively clear in the hours since. First, the Nets weren't interested in Russell Westbrook, and wanted a package that would allow them to stay competitive in the near term while also adding assets to keep building around Kevin Durant and keep him happy. The Lakers couldn't provide any of that. Second, reports also indicate that Nets owner Joe Tsai was imposing a "Laker Tax," not necessarily aimed at the Lakers themselves, but at Kyrie. If Brooklyn was going to reward Irving with his first-choice destination, it would only be for an offer so overwhelmingly lopsided they couldn't possibly turn it down. The Lakers weren't going to do that, and so while Irving gets his wish to leave Brooklyn, it's not to his first-choice destination. So what were the Lakers willing to offer? Were they aggressive enough? Too aggressive? Should they have made whatever commitments were required to secure Kyrie? Was what they were willing to do already too risky? And most importantly, what happens now? What does this mean for their relationship with LeBron James, who Tweeted about the deal later on Sunday? What might still be available for the Lakers to acquire before Thursday's deadline? What kind of trajectory are they on if they want to make this team a title contender again? Was Kyrie the last star they had reasonable access to? Many, many questions remain in what is sure to be a super-busy week for the team. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Kyrie goes fast. Was the timing, or the destination, a surprise? SEGMENT 2: What were the Lakers reportedly willing to offer? Was that too much? Too little? Was there any realistic chance Brooklyn would trade him here? SEGMENT 3: What's next, for LeBron and the trade market? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
