1. Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers would simply be the best fit for Irving, and would offer him the money, stardom, and situation that he could thrive in. Kobe Bryant wants the Lakers to go out and add another star or two, and they are going to do their best to make that happen for him. Los Angeles will have some trouble coming up with a satisfactory trade package for him, but the two sides could make something happen. His scoring ability would be a major key for the Lakers, and his ability to make plays for his teammates and take over basketball games would fit well with Bryant. If the Lakers want to get back to competition this coming season, pursuing a trade for Irving would make a lot of sense.
