Preface: If you let fans and friends choose, do you think the Lone Ranger keeps Irving or Doncic is better for the future of the team? Why is there such a topic? It's very simple, because of the constant news leaking out recently, Doncic has lost patience, and he has always been eager to compete, and he had the idea of running away after the team deliberately gave up what little hope remained this season!
It is reported that Doncic has recently been frequently pointed out that he will be selected to leave as soon as the summer of 2024 (his contract expires next summer), and Tim McMahon, a reporter from ESPN, added that if Dallas does not make any progress in the coming season, Doncic will obviously choose to leave Dallas as a free agent, and he is still extremely tired of losing!
When such news was released, fans and friends obviously talked about it, and many Lakers fans welcomed it very much, thinking that he could choose to come to Los Angeles, and the Purple and Gold Army needed him to join! In this regard, in your opinion, is Doncic suitable for the current Lakers? Coincidentally, in the summer of 2024, James' contract will also expire, and his decision needs to take into account the team that Brownie is in, and if James leaves, the best option to replace him may be Doncic? That's why many Lakers fans welcome it.
Doncic left, which is something that Cuban has a hard time accepting, and he traded Irving this season for what? Surely it's not for the team to skip the playoffs and compete for this year's draft pick? (If Dallas also loses the last game, the team is eligible to compete for the top 10 picks this year, as Kidd said after losing to the Chicago Bulls in the last game.) It's too early to define it, as Kidd revealed today the priorities that Cuban will tackle this summer.
Dallas coach Kidd said of Irving: "I think he's going to choose to stay in the city this summer, so why do we think he should leave? Cuban made it very clear that Kyrie Irving staying is the number one priority, and the first thing to do this summer is for Irving to choose to renew his contract with the team! ”
This is what Cuban meant, Kidd expressed this opinion, and what is the purpose of keeping Owen? Undoubtedly for Doncic, after all, the Lone Ranger has no other choice, it is obviously better to keep Irving than to let him choose to leave only Doncic alone to lead the team, from the perspective of paper strength, if Irving plays seriously, he and Doncic can show an unsolvable posture on offense, but the defensive end is undoubtedly much degraded compared to last season or Irving's deal, how to enhance defensively, I think is the focus of Dallas this summer.
If you can successfully renew Irving, it is possible to give the team a certain amount of hope next season, so that the team can have better strength to play the expected results in the playoffs next year, which can at least make Doncic more willing to stay, otherwise it may really happen: Doncic and the Lone Ranger say goodbye completely, and if the Lakers choose to leave when James' contract expires, it is difficult for Luca to come to the Purple and Gold Army, after all, the city and the Lakers team have always lacked the charm of attracting superstars. Do you say it's possible?
