Longer than Star Wars and Harry Potter combined, the Kyrie Irving saga summer 2022 edition continues with a new opus signed Shams Charania by The Athletic, which reveals to us that the Nets would have finally made the decision to … keep Kyrie next season, and would have thus notified the teams interested in the boy of this decision. The advantage is that there were not many people to call.
Alert: if the Kyrie Irving file – and Kevin Durant at the same time – takes your mind, click on the little red cross at the top right of your screen and go get yourself a good big strong coffee because the saga does not is not ready to stop. After being announced at the Knicks, at the Clippers, at my aunt Hubertine but also and especially at the Lakers, Kyrie Irving might finally stay in Brooklyn. In any case, this is what Shams Charania of The Athleticexplaining that the Nets would have notified the franchises interested in Kyrie of their desire to keep the point guard next season. Do you feel like history is repeating itself? We reassure you that you are not swimming at all in the middle of a dream since it has been almost two months that Sean Marks himself, the General Manager of BKN, alternates between ” we will transfer it to get a great package in return » et « we are not going to transfer it because there is no super package in return“. In fact, such a departure would seem to benefit no one, which is why it is less and less considered. Inevitably, on Uncle Drew’s side, with such little marked progress in trade negotiations, we are beginning to resign ourselves and accept the fact that we will have to put on the black and white tunic once more in October to do the job for which he will still be well paid. Finally all that, it is in any case what Shams explains to us in his article :
“All-Star Kyrie Irving has also decided to take his $37 million player option, thus committing to Brooklyn for the 2022-23 season and sources with knowledge of the situation indicate that he has been training with his teammates and held a constructive dialogue with the organization during theoffseason. Brooklyn has made it clear to interested teams that they plan to keep the seven-time All-Star, sources say. – Shams Charania
It’s true that when you think regarding it, Kyrie himself decided to take his player option, something he might have not done if he REALLY wanted to get away from Brooklyn. Certainly, the latter has visibly shown a strong desire to join LeBron at the Lakers, but in the current state of things, Irving understood that he had little chance of being involved in any transfer. And for good reason, only the Angelinos have really tried their luck, with an offer made up of Russell Westbrook – whose contract is not even absorbable by the Nets – and two first rounds of Draft. Clearly not enough for Marks who also failed to involve a third franchise in this merry mess. Add to that an equally – if not more – chaotic situation with the Kevin Durant case, and you get a feeling of helplessness from all parties, who are slowly realizing how bad it is going to be. difficult to move the lines. The advantage is that the point guard at least seems to get along well with the franchise – in reality we don’t really know given certain rumors – and his teammates, which is why the Nets are considering doing nothing and trying to see what an Irving-Durant-Simmons line might do next year. Because yes, on paper, we may forget it but we are not talking regarding a one-armed team that will tank. Can things still move? Of course, and this until the trade deadline moreover. Let’s not forget that Kyrie will be a free agent in the summer of 2023, and can then leave once morest… nothing. Is that what you want Sean? Well no, logical.
