Breaking News from NBA Insider

Los Angeles, CA - February 9, 2024

In a recent report by The Athletic's Shams Charania, Kyrie Irving has reportedly reached out to his former teammate LeBron James, sparking speculation about a potential reunion between the two stars.

However, sources close to the Los Angeles Lakers have dismissed the possibility of trading James, stating that it is "unrealistic" considering his status as one of the league's top players and the Lakers' long-term plans.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks made a pair of trades before Thursday's deadline, acquiring center Daniel Gafford from the Washington Wizards. Gafford, known for his impressive shot-blocking abilities, is expected to provide a boost to the Mavericks' defense.
