The Brooklyn Nets May Listen To Trade Offers Involving Kyrie Irving This Upcoming Offseason

 

Kyrie Irving appeared in 54 games for the Brooklyn Nets this season, averaging 26.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game on 50.6% shooting from the field. As far as the playoffs is concerned, Kyrie’s hopes with the team didn’t go according to plan as he was sidelined due to an injury, disrupting Brooklyn’s chances of advancing much further.   

The Nets point guard signed a four-year deal with the Nets in 2019, and now has two years left with a player option remaining on his deal. Kyrie, as part of the Nets’ ‘Big 3’, does not appear going anywhere given how the Nets have seen success with Irving on the court. 

But a recent report from Matt Sullivan, author of ‘Can’t Knock the Hustle: Inside the Season of Protest, Pandemic, and Progress with the Brooklyn Nets’ Superstars of Tomorrow’, seems to challenge that expectation. 

According to Sullivan, the Nets are upset with Irving’s midseason pause and may be willing to listen to trade offers involving the Nets point guard in the upcoming offseason.

Via Celtics Wire:

 

“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.”
