Who is the person who flatly refused Kyrie Irving's request to go to the Los Angeles Lakers?

Not hiding anything, Kyrie Irving openly shared that he wanted to go to the Los Angeles Lakers to reunite with LeBron James.

However, in the current situation, Kyrie is not the one to decide. The "handler" is the Brooklyn Nets leadership, specifically technical director Sean Marks and the team's owner - billionaire Joe Tsai.

Because of Mr. Tsai's shake of the head, the Brooklyn Nets did not accept Kyrie Irving's request, rejecting the offer of Russell Westbrook with 2 first-round picks of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Finally, the Brooklyn Nets shook hands with the Dallas Mavericks, bringing the 8-time All-Star defender to play next to "prince" Luka Doncic instead of "king" LeBron James.

This is a decision with many implications of billionaire Joe Tsai. Maybe he doesn't want Kyrie to reunite with LeBron because that would create a super-powerful duo at the Los Angeles Lakers.

But it is not excluded that this is a personal story between the owner of Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving, which has existed for more than a year because of many dramas and scandals outside the football field.

Can't blame both LeBron and Kyrie when these two players want to reunite. They entered the NBA Finals and then won the championship in 2016, defeating the defending champion Golden State Warriors with a historic comeback.

Either way, the blockbuster deal blew up and everything was done. Kyrie Irving landed at the Dallas Mavericks and created a new duo with Luka Doncic, while the Los Angeles Lakers continued to struggle with the problem of Russell Westbrook and the transfer market.

As for the Brooklyn Nets, the Eastern team will continue to be active at this Trade Deadline to improve the quality of the squad and increase its ability to compete with the satellites centered around Kevin Durant.
