After three chaotic seasons in Brooklyn, Irving is widely expected to be traded this summer

the Lakers have long been considered the favorites to land him.

So far, trade talks haven't progressed very far and both sides find themselves in a stand-off as the offseason rages on.

But pressure from LeBron James could force L.A.'s hand.

James has been pressing for the front office to pull off a deal for Irving sooner rather than later.
