    Nets to Entertain Offers for Kyrie Irving

    Https://netswire.usatoday .. -kyrie-irving/

    After an early exit from the postseason amid a slew of injuries that hindered what seemed to be an unstoppable Nets trio of superstars, Brooklyn Nets GM Sean Marks has already noted that the Nets roster will have a different look for the 2021-22 NBA season.

    The Nets have one more shot to win a title before each member of the Big Three has to make a decision on a player option in their contract, and in the current age of player movement, it?s entirely possible that the Nets? superteam experiment could be over quickly if things don?t go to plan next year. Yet according to Matt Sullivan, Irving could be available in a trade this summer after ?annoying? some members of the organization.

    Sullivan is the author of ?Can?t Knock the Hustle: Inside the Season of Protest, Pandemic, and Progress with the Brooklyn Nets? Superstars of Tomorrow,? which released on Tuesday. In a conversation with our friends from Celtics Wire on their podcast, Celtics Lab, Sullivan said that Nets ownership was unhappy with Irving over his midseason ?pause,? and that Irving could be available for the right offer.

    Celtics Lab: ?Kyrie Irving has a player option for ?22-?23. Kevin Durant has a player option for ?22-?23, and James Harden has a player option for ?22-?23. Do you think that the Brooklyn Nets win a championship in, let?s say the next five years, and is it with that big three??

    Matt Sullivan: ?Let me give you guys a little news, I?m not sure that?s been out there. I?ve heard that Nets ownership was quite upset with Kyrie?s ?pause,? especially that maskless party that turned his psuedo-paternity leave into more like a COVID suspension. And in the last week I?ve heard rumblings ? whispers, really, because cracking the Nets is kind of like breaking into the Kremlin, that Brooklyn GM Sean Marks would maybe, possibly, apparently be willing to at least listen to a trade offer for Kyrie this offseason.

    Now, I?m not sure what the market for Kyrie is at this point. It?s not like Ben Simmons giving you the headache on the court. It?s that complex personality that comes from off the court. I think it?s been annoying some people in the franchise. I can?t speak to his teammates, who obviously want to play with one of the world?s best and get him back there.?

    I read an article not to long ago where Irving sounded like he was losing interest in basketball . Would he want to play here? Could we count on him giving it all or would it be play when I feel like it type of deal.

    If he were dedicated to the game and his teammates, he would be a nice player to have on a team. I want no part of him.

    There is a problem with him if the Nets are letting him loose and Lebron wanted no part of him

    Keep that toxic team-killing weak-azz Kobe wannabe moron away.

    I'd rather have 'Playoff P' and his 4th quarter inbounds passes to his centers who aren't looking and his clutch free-throw ability...

    Nets aren't doing anything without Durant's approval anyway...

    Didn’t our GM draft him in Cleveland? He also is a Duke product.

    He’s he ever missed the playoffs? How much of a team killer is he?

    Don?t want him. Often injured head case. I?d rather keep Lonzo Ball.

    Nor do I. But again, there is the Griff factor. He played for Griff in Cleveland

    Kyrie wouldn't play here if you literally rolled him on the court in a straight jacket.

    However, I think it's smart of the Nets to shop him now.
