NBA star Kyrie Irving left red-faced over Brooklyn Nets comments after trade request

NBA megastar Kyrie Irving has demanded a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets, just days after his agent confirmed the 31-year-old wanted to make the place his home.

Irving is out of contract at the end of the season having picked up the one-year player option on his current deal, and has now apparently told the Nets that if he doesn't get a trade away in the next six days, he'll leave in free agency.

The All-Star guard is close friends with team-mate Kevin Durant, and both demanded trades away from the Barclays Center last summer, only for the Nets to rebuff both demands.
