Kyrie Irving has had the last laugh with the Brooklyn Nets after banking a further $2 million for being traded - after he demanded a move away from the team he joined in 2019.
As was the case when Irving was with the Boston Celtics, he originally stated he wanted to remain with the team for the long-term before U-turning on that decision.
Earlier this month, Irving was offered a long-term extension but was said to have instantly rejected it and handed in a trade request after a clause was inserted which he 'vehemently disagreed' with.
