LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers missed out on perhaps their top trade target, Kyrie Irving, who was just acquired by the Dallas Mavericks in a blockbuster deal.
Speaking with ESPN’s Michael Wilbon in an interview that aired Monday, James, Irving’s former teammate, let his disappointment be known.
[I’m] definitely disappointed,” said James. “I can’t sit here and say I’m not disappointed on not being able to land such a talent. Someone I have great chemistry with and know I got great chemistry with on the floor that can help you win championships, in my mind, in my eyes.
“But my focus has shifted now,” James continued on. “My focus has shifted back to where it should be, and that’s this club now and what we have in the locker room.”
Here is the full interview clip.
