With Kevin Durant asking to leave the Nets, rumors quickly sent Kyrie Irving elsewhere, as he had just accepted his player option. If the Lakers are on the move, does the player really want to leave the Big Apple? A big update has just been made on Uncle Drew. We can say that the leader undergoes a little all that.
Before the start of the Kevin Durant soap opera, we must not forget that Kyrie Irving took a long time to make his decision. As a reminder, he could refuse his player option and become a free agent, or accept it to stay one more season. After a few days of suspense, the leader made the choice to stay, and even made an appointment with Brooklyn fans at the start of the school year. Problem, and in the same week, that’s when KD requested his trade.
Kyrie Irving to stay with the Nets?
Without really wanting it, Irving found himself again in rumors in turn. The Lakers quickly expressed interest, with the franchises assuming that all players were available on the roster. According to Brian Lewis of the NY Post, it does. However, a clarification is necessary for the journalist: that does not mean that Kyrie wants to leave Brooklyn. In any case, this is what he reports in his latest article.
A source confirmed that the team is still in contact since the trade request via Kevin Durant. Another source claims Kyrie Irving never asked to leave afterward, and had every intention of staying to play for the Nets — with or without Kevin Durant.
It must therefore be believed that Kyrie has no intention of leaving, but he does not really have a choice if Brooklyn finds an agreement with another franchise in the coming weeks.
