For several days, transfer rumors have focused a lot around the Nets, Lakers and Raptors regarding the Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant files. In this context, the viral video captured this Saturday caused a lot of talk!
Undoubtedly, these three franchises will remain among those that have most animated the off-season. Nurturing big goals for next season, the Lakers, Nets and Raptors are among the teams likely to sign one or more big trades this summer. They might even collaborate in this direction, and exchange several major players in the coming weeks. A hypothesis that has gained even more credit lately.
Nets, Lakers and Raps caught in the middle of negotiations?
Rare are the times of the year when several executives from various franchises can meet simultaneously to discuss transfers. The Summer League thus serves as a rare exception, with many general managers gathered in the same room. This was the case, for example, this Saturday, as a video showing Rob Pelinka, Sean Marks and Masai Ujiri clearly shows!

Here, it is mainly the executives of the Nets and the Lakers who chat in a rather jovial way. A vision that necessarily ignited the fans, convinced that their conversation was centered around Kyrie Irving, present a few meters away and author of a big punchline. Similar interpretations were also made when it was Sean Marks and Masai Ujiri who chatted like that!

Did the two men talk regarding a possible agreement regarding Kevin Durant? In any case, Toronto is part of the four teams on pole to recover the Nets star. Inevitably, Internet users quickly made the connection between this file and the famous sequence. Adrian Wojnarowski will certainly be able to remove all doubts, he who was only a few meters from the action!
Major players in recent trade rumors, Lakers, Nets and Raptors are not likely to get out of it with the noted exchanges between their general managers. It didn’t take much to ignite the NBA community a little more!
