Reports: Kyrie Irving’s Future With Brooklyn Nets Have Been Decided
Kyrie Irving is regarded as one of the top guards in the NBA. He has averaged 25.2 points per game. After his suspension, he has been involved in controversies. There were rumors that he would be traded to the LA Lakers soon. A lot has been said about his suspension and joining the Lakers. But Irving has rejoined the Nets and is expected to stay with the Brooklyn Nets beyond this season.
An executive of the NBA predicted Irving’s next step:
“I think Kyrie ends up with a short extension with the Nets. A sign-and-trade for Kyrie this summer would be tough given the length needed and assets to make it happen from another team. I think there’s an incentive for an extension on a one-plus-one or two-year deal.”
“If I’m Brooklyn, I’m not going past two years. I don’t know if Kyrie would accept that. The Lakers will go into the summer with cap space and can offer two years, $60 million, where he could rejoin LeBron James and play with Anthony Davis.”
Irving And The Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets, with a record of 27-16, are in place behind the Philadelphia 76ers. They are struggling to be one of the leading teams in the Eastern Conference. Irving has averaged 25.2 points per game this season and is averaging 23.1 points in his career.
It seems that the Nets want to extend their partnership with Kyrie beyond this season.
They want Irving to be the best in the team and the NBA. The Nets suffered a major loss due to the absence of Irving and Durant against the Spurs. Now to recover and maintain their position on the charts, they require their finest players to perform well and win the forthcoming games.
