Breaking: Brooklyn Nets All-Star Kyrie Irving has requested a trade, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The franchise has been informed that Irving prefers to move on ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline - or will leave in free agency in July.


Adrian Wojnarowski said:
ESPN Sources: Brooklyn's Kyrie Irving has not shared a list of preferred teams, but he has maintained an interest in the Lakers. LA is expected to be among the teams that'll explore a possible trade with the Nets.

Or Rozier.

Charlotte has indicated they would be open to a RW for Rozier swap. Rozier is a really good defender and has that dog in him Irving doesn't. Without the crazy.

Oh, sure. Just reunite Kyrie and LeBron, Westbrook and Durant. Then the nets can swap Ben for Harden again and we can all live in the past and see a Cleveland vs OKC finals

I'd expect that a 3rd team would have to be involved unless the Nets plan to buy Westbrook out.

Ain't no way KD wants to team up with Westbrook again.

Hard to see a situation where KD is willing to stay in Brooklyn once they move Kyrie.

I'd expect that they'd have to try to sell him on the supporting cast they believe they can put around him next season.

But, considering that he turns 35 this year and has been injury prone of late...they may be ready to let him go.

Yeah. That's possible. Not sure that Marks can survive if that happens though.

Suns swap for Chris Paul makes more sense

Not for Phoenix. Talent, sure. But downgrading from Paul's leadership to Irving's is unimaginable.

I think he stays put. There's just not a sensible deal out there. The FA market won't be as kind to Kyrie as he thinks it's going to be. I bet he rides it out with KD and he convinces him to stay...

Nets should roll the dice, unless they get a huge offer.

Marks will much prefer working for the next team anyway, he'll get hired about a week after he's fired if that happens.

Seems like way too much for Boston to give up. Maybe just Pritchard and a first?

Trying to relieve your stress.

Being a Celtic fan, I'm stressing about what Stevens will do to make Wyc happy. That quote, "Muscle up. Just do it." is true and the Boston television media is coming up with every conceivable trade that they can think of.

They were discussing Durrant last year. I know he makes Stevens drool. He ain't muscle, but adding him would be incredible to this young team.

You know the Nets are going to want Brown most likely right? Not to mention a draft pick.

If the Celtics offered Brown it might be the Nets that would have to include a pick
