3. Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles needs to bring in another star player to put alongside Kobe Bryant this season, and that player could very well end up being Irving. The Lakers have some assets to trade, and probably have enough to intrigue the Cavaliers to make a deal. If the Lakers decided to trade the seventh overall pick in the 2014 draft, along with another pick and a young player, that might just be enough to make the Cavaliers consider a trade. That being said, Cleveland won’t make a trade just to move Irving, and the Lakers will have to come with their absolute best offer.
