Regret for the Lakers?! 👀 Should they have pursed Kyrie Irving? | NBA Today 

You would think the Lakers are the only team in the NBA when it comes to ESPN.

This discussion is foolish. Lakers could not offer Kyrie what he wanted.

Real story Lakers did everything they can to get Kyrie but Brooklyn nets ower said no way I am trading Kyrie to the lakes he did not want to send Kyrie where he wanted to go

Kyrie redeemed himself in Dallas. He's a top talent when not distracted, and he isn't distracted right now.

Kyrie was also courtside at the Kings Warriors series. Does that mean he wanted to go to one of those teams?

Kyrie dropping 40 tonight 😂😂😂

Lakers could’ve traded Westbrook, Reaves & Picks for Kyrie instead they traded for DLO 😂😂😂

I know y’all want Kyrie and LeGM on the same team but it’s too late guys. Stop listening to Klutch

Lakers did not have any cap space to sign him and certainly not any assets to do a Sign and Trade with the Mavs. Dumb debate.

Espn making up headlines again.....

Media just loves talking about Kyrie

Pointless video. Nets didn’t want to send him to LA

He said that the Lakers having Kyrie wouldn't of helped them beat Denver??? Is he nuts?? Dlos ppg dropped like 8 points in the nuggets series..if he would of played normal the Lakers would have won a cpl games..now u talk about Kyrie who is on another level? Man foh with Kyrie the Lakers wouldn't lose at all

Yes absolutely you shouldve pursued Kyrie.

I think it’s cap. Kyrie was staying in Dallas.

Kyrie would put up 20 PPG in LA and the Lakers would still be a .500 team.

I mean we go back to this every month

MAAAAN STOP!!! I don't even rock w/Bron, but him KY and AD would've been a problem for the league!!!

Austin Rivers has a good voice and cadence

Man are yall pushing for this for like 2 years straight

Austin Rivers as an analyst is cool tbh.

Kyrie is elite.

Fans was crazy bout Austin instead of takin advantage of him on the high

I don't think Kyrie is suited to play in a city where the media is extremely TOXIC (i.e. New York, Boston, and Los Angeles). He's at peace with himself in Dallas. It's best to leave him alone.

No player should go to the Lakers until Lebron is kicked out.

Give up ESPN, he is staying in Dallas. He's found a home here. Let it go.

Smh anything that gives espn an excuse to discuss the Lakers 🤦🏾‍♂️

Funny how people think u can have a big 3 and then the mid level exception player gonna come in and light it up from 3 and play the best defense like no

ESPN cares about two teams from two sports: the Cowboys and Lakers. They LOVE that LeBron went to that team. They would have loved to have seen a reunion and there, so there’s more of a reason to talk about the Lakers every day.

Bruh this is what makes me mad about this. They want the Suns to win so bad, they just completely disregard the defensive side. Like duh, they’re gonna score but they cant stop the other team from scoring 😂

Absolutely they should have. It’s wild that they didn’t even try and kept DLo instead!!

This should’ve been reported for the beginning of the season why report this now especially them playing against the Mavericks tonight

Hindsight is 20/20 but they should definitely regret going after Kyrie.

Might want to edit that title, ESPN.

Lakers don’t need no more players no more segments no more press 😂

Suns have Grayson Allen now, dude always overlooked. He’s got nice IQ and reliability as a “bench player” I still think the Bucks were stupid to get rid of him.

Shoot.... how many shots to share?!! 10 shots a person.. 15 per Star. Half the Game time... to share shots

This is wild considering that everybody got up here and said the Lakers shouldn't have pursued him when he was available.

Richard dressed like a magician. Austin looking like a Mormon. What are we doing? Where is the wardrobe budget lol

Los Angeles doesn't fit Kyrie as a city...I think.

Great win for the Suns, but if you tell me that KD has to play center for them to win amd come back from 20 in the 4th, they’re getting swept

Didnt see... Murray as 20 to 30pt...

No way doc Rivers got Austin rivers even on espn. Say whatever abt that man but he is a good father 😭

Pursued not Pursed!

Pursed or Pursued? Come on ESPN a middle schooler knows the difference

Grayson Allen Carrying them boys!

ESPN should stop being the mouthpiece for Lakers and Lebron. Leave Kyrie alone. He’s happy. You never seen him smile so much in any team, ever.

Let's talk about the Cavs.

These Mfs ALWAYS bringing up old news 💀💀

Net owner didn't want to send him there A and B they didn't have cap space!

Lakers never had enough to get Kyrie no 1st round Austin and nothing else to give

Imagine not getting kyrie because you wanted reaves.. smfh

Lakers better not regret not having Kyrie the headache

Kyrie doesn't want y'all praises now after dragging his name through the mud for no reason.

Yeeah!! Amazing Irving Style!!!

Pursed or pursue?

They still hating on Kyrie 😂😂😂😂

Yes

Can we talk about the TWolves or Denver maybe just a little bit? Why are they always forcing the Lakers down our throats?

Here we go ESPN always making up stories

Lakers needs uncle drew trade dlo,reddish,hayes,reaves for kyrie and hardaway

It's the Lakers you think they don't have a magic trade they could pull out of nowhere? Happens all the time unless David stern is the commissioner.

Evennn Derozan... catching up to Irving!! DeRozan. STolen to Knicks. Highest Paid... or move to heat or Lakers.. Talent

No! Next!

Cant believe... Xlippers... lost 4th QTr

That’ll make the lakers a super team

Wilbon getting old kyrie definitely would’ve helped the lakers vs the nuggets 😂😂😂

Am I alone in thinking Malika’s voice is forced and that her real voice completely different

The ONLY guards I'm taking over Kyrie when he's fully locked in and healthy are Luka and SGA... Kyrie a top 10 player atm, so yeah Lakers should be feeling regret

Not if u traded AD

Pursed or pursued?

Maaannnn I dont wanna hear all this. ALL last year they kept saying no dont do it, it owuld be cancer, and now all this smh

what’s the point of having a deep roster if you can’t compete? lol all those defensive, role players just to be under .500. jeanie and the rambis family are clueless

I love how the Lakers narrative is always that they need to spend all of their draft capital, and cap space to get 3 all stars and surround them with D league players and throw aways. The Lakers had cap space this year and couldn't even surround AD and Lebron with competent role players. How are they supposed to do better with minimum contracts?

Lakers were in every single one of those Denver games and lost by an average of 6pts... Kyrie would have absolutely been able to make a difference.

He’s definitely not gettin a ring with Luka…

Screw it! I’m going to bet on the teams I root for! Niners/Clippers parlays to win their conferences and then add any of the four AFC teams. Last year’s ECF screwed me of winning $600 more because the effin Heat had to win it. I blame them and the stupid Celtics. I’m not putting any money on this year’s EFC winner. I’m going to simplify it with three-team parlays. I’m only betting on the conference winners. I still have doubts my Niners or Clippers can win it all. The reputation of Playoff P, Harden, and Russ in the playoffs aren’t very good. Only Kawhi and Powell are champions next to the coaches. My Niners are very capable of blowing leads in the 4th quarter. All that talent like Secretariat, but they’re not built to fight back. We saw Secretariat lose to Onion and Prove Out and he didn’t fight back the way Seattle Slew did to Exceller after a speed duel with Affirmed and his rabbit, Life’s Hope in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup. My Niners can be frontrunners. I want to see them win by coming from behind. They got totally embarrassed by Baltimore at home and no answer when they were down big. Perhaps they needed that? Use that as motivation. SB will be held in Vegas and tons of former Californians will be rooting for them there in the Raiders’ new city. Even after getting embarrassed at home by Baltimore, my Niners are still the Vegas favorites to win it all. But I don’t want to bet them to win it all. Only the NFC championship game. I’ll probably have another bet with the Packers winning the conference because I’m getting scared to death with Jordan Love. Put another $20 on that. My Clippers will probably lose to Denver in the WCF knowing my bad luck and theirs. Probably blow another 3-1 lead to them. Kawhi and PG might get injured again. Or we face the Lakers in whatever round and the refs rigs it against us because LeBron demands it from LeAdam, his Jewish papa. It’s a shot in the dark but I’m going with these wagers… $20 Conference Winning Parlay Ravens/Niners/Clippers Bills/Niners/Clippers Chiefs/Niners/Clippers Texans/Niners/Clippers $10 Conference Winning Parlay Packers/Nuggets Packers/Clippers Packers/Lakers Watch me bet this and then Clippers and Niners get injured again this weekend. We are truly cursed. Then watch it be a Lions or Bucs vs. Ravens SB. 🤦🏻

Cowboys flamed out just waiting on them Lakers to do the same thing cant wait lol

One drama King is enough on the Lakers.

We cant... irving and cuban friendship... Luka Needed help!!

Kyrie and lebron again wow 🐐🐐🔥🔥❤️❤️

Pursed is probably right

Its not that the Laoers regret not getting Kryie, its the fact that they couldn't get him for a bologna sandwich and a back of chips.

“Pursed”?😂🤔

It’s 50/50 guys 😂😂

They couldn't have beat the Nuggets in the playoffs last year even if they had Kyrie.

I’d rather have kyrie than AD

Is this even a discussion. Any team is better with Kyrie.

And MAvs will let Kyrie to LAL for Hachimura and Reaves 😂

And the Lakers blown out the Mavs earlier

Monk!!! From Jordan's Team!! Monk!!! AiR Jordan Flying dunks!!

You could give Lebron, Kyrie, Zach Lavine, Siakam, and Marcus Smart and it still wouldn't be enough for him. He'd want Jokic, Embiid, KD, and Luka and will still complain that it's not enough help for him to win a title.

01:20 So an NBA player going to watch an NBA game is trying to send a message? Are we reaching again

Listen just because you haven't heard from Kyrie. Irving does not mean this dude is not capable of going off the rails. He picked the team the Mavericks because of the money and convenience. Kyrie Irving all but said that he wanted nothing to do with ever playing with LeBron James so I knew for a fact he was never going to go with the Lakers but are the Mavericks anywhere near a championship contender in my opinion as a mass fan? No, they still can't play defense to save their lives if Kyrie or Luca are not scoring 30 to 40 a night with at least 7 to 8 assists. They're not winning games on a consistent basis

Id soo... take Irving and levine package!!!

Ayye. JEFF IS BACK

People, please understand that LeBron doesn't want to play with Kyrie as a full-time teammate. If LeBron wanted Kyrie. He would have been a Laker 2 years ago. Kyries' talent is unquestionable. His odd personality and history of not being available or dependable is why it took so long for Kyrie to be traded. Kyrie is doing an image rehab in Dallas. Make no mistakes about it. Kyrie was on his way out of the NBA if Marc didn't trade for him. No other team was willing to give much in return for Kyrie. Kyrie is playing well and doing great in Dallas because he knows he has to. Do you think Kyrie wants to be in Dallas?

lol they didn’t spell pursued right

With kyrie they definitely beating Denver lmao

Dude... durant 7ft tall... ball on his head.... no one Blocking....
