Kyrie Irving Next Team Odds: Lakers Given 33% Chance to Land Irving in Reunion with LeBron James
Where will Kyrie Irving play next season? Right now, Irving is set to be one of the most sought-after free agents of the 2023 NBA class. But, where will he end up? Well, if he doesn't end up back in Dallas, oddsmakers are betting he heads out to Los Angeles for a reunion with LeBron James.
James and Irving famously came back from down 3-1 in the NBA Finals to beat the Golden State Warriors before Irving left for the Boston Celtics. Since then, Irving has been the focus of much drama surrounding his off-the-court antics. However, he remains a top-tier NBA player.
This past season, the Brooklyn Nets traded Irving to the Dallas Mavericks as he paired up with Luka Doncic. The results were atrocious as the Mavs fell off a cliff and missed the playoffs. Because of that, it seems unlikely he will return to Dallas.
So, will Kyrie Irving become a Los Angeles Laker? If so, do the Lakers become the favorites to win a title? Let's take a look at the latest odds for Kyrie Irving's next team to try and find out.

As you can see above, the Los Angeles Lakers lead the way when it comes to Kyrie Irving's next team. At +200, there is an implied chance of 33.3% that the Lakers have Irving and LeBron team up once again this season.
Next up for Irving is a trip to South Beach to team up with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Could Irving be the missing piece to bring the Heat their next tile? At +400, the implied chance that Irving ends up in Miami is 20%.
Keep an eye on long shots like the Philadelphia 76ers. If James Harden is leaving, the 76ers will need a point guard and while Irving isn't a perfect fit, he's likely a better choice than handing the keys to the kingdom to Tyrese Maxey already.
