Kyrie Irving demands trade out of the Brooklyn Nets!!! From Hindsight I could swear that major drama will come out of Brooklyn in February with Kyrie being the protagonist character. The misunderstandings with the coaches were behind us now. Or so we thought?
Kyrie Irving just demanded a trade out of Brooklyn and with the trade deadline quickly approaching Thursday February 9th, Kyrie will want this trade as fast as possible.
The repercussions of not trading Kyrie now will cost Brooklyn to lose him for nothing in June. First of all, Nets General Manager Sean Marks probably should have been fired alongside Steeve Nash as Kevin Durant requested. The Nets have been making the most terrible decisions concerning trades for the last two years.
It’s evident now that the Philadelphia 76ers won the trade with James Harden. Ben Simmons is the greatest mistake the Brooklyn Nets team has made in the last decade. Fans have expected the KD, Kyrie, and Simmons trio to blast the entire league, but the 6’11 Australian doesn’t seem to have any flair for the game of Basketball again.
We should also give Boston Credit for propelling Kyrie’s decisions. The recent Blowout between the Boston Celtics and the Nets seemed to have opened Kyrie’s eyes to the chances Brooklyn Nets have of winning a championship this season. Games like this(against Boston) are where the versatility of a center is needed. Brooklyn doesn’t have a center. Both Ben Simmons’s knees and mind are Sore.
We shouldn’t forget that late into the month of January. Kyrie’s agent reported to Brooklyn that Kyrie will be open for extension conversations concerning his contract. Well, It seems Kyrie got Snubbed concerning his request. Owner Joe Tsai probably hasn’t healed from the antisemitic wounds Kyrie seemed to have cost him.
If Kyrie leaves the Brooklyn Nets, the Knicks have better chances of winning a championship this season. And there is one person in the entirety of the Brooklyn Nets team that all teams in the NBA will give up a roster spot for, his name is Kevin Durant. The moment Kyrie leaves there is no hope for players like KD to stay a single day more in Brooklyn. KD will do all it takes to force his way out of Brooklyn likewise.
The scariest thing that can happen to a team, is when Ben Simmons is the face of your team. That might be Brooklyn’s plight soon! The problem with trading Ben Simmons is that it will cause the Nets a lot of money, although it’s better than costing the team a championship.
And to be honest, Which team wants to acquire Ben Simmons?
The safest destination for Kyrie will be the Los Angeles Lakers. Lebron James’s name is written all over Kyrie’s request. The trade will be Kyrie for Russell Westbrook. It may be a win-win solution for both KD and Lebron as both players will reunite with their former teammates.
Kyrie might be using his demand to get attention from Brooklyn to renew his contract though. Kyrie has been undeniably playing great basketball. So putting loyalty aside, he deserves a contract extension. The Brooklyn Nets need to act fast and sharp on the Kyrie situation, especially now that the earth is still round, there is no Covid mandate and probably the Jews have forgiven Kyrie.
