Rumours season is year-round in the NBA. It literally never stops, not even for the Eastern Conference Finals or NBA Finals and in this day and age of social media, a simple "like" on a picture can get a LOT of people talking.

The particular "like" in question on Friday was from LeBron James and it was on a picture of Kyrie Irving, but it wasn't just any picture of the former Cavalier. It was one of Irving in a Lakers jersey and oh yeah, LeBron plays for Los Angeles now...

This like came after rumours that LeBron had apparently met with Irving recently, so that blew it up even more.

James has reportedly been dining with a number of stars on other teams, so Irving isn't the only one, but the history between the two is what makes a potential reunion so intriguing.

One more notable trio: LeBron dined with Russell Westbrook — and Anthony Davis — at Nobu Malibu on Wednesday.

“From what I understand, [LeBron] has already begun the recruiting process. I’ve heard he has had contact with Kawhi Leonard. I’ve heard he’s had contact with Jimmy Butler.”

With the future of so many stars very uncertain, the NBA landscape could change drastically this summer and we're all for absolute chaos, except maybe in Toronto (he stay).
