A Reunion With LeBron James In Los Angeles Could Stand In The Way Of Miami Heat Acquiring Kyrie Irving

In this story:
LeBron James was at it again Friday evening.
He is the king of making fans think by sending cryptic tweets. A few hours after Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving requested a trade, James had folks guessing on Twitter.
Again.
He posted a simple emoji of a pair of eyes and a crown. My guess is it meant The King, James' nickname, is looking for a new teammate whose name could have the initials "K.I" as in Kyle Lowry.

As usual, the tweet drew thousands of replies about Irving. A James-Irving reunion could be on the horizon. The two were teammates with the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning a championship against the 73-win Golden State Warriors in 2016.

The Lakers are among a handful of teams that are reportedly in the hunt for Irving, including the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat.
How would disappointing would it be if James, who played in Miami from 2010-14, was the deciding factor in keeping the Heat from improving by adding Lowry?
