As reports of a growing rift between Kyrie Irving and the Nets continue to emerge, the star guard’s list of preferred destinations has been made public.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the 30-year-old is reportedly eyeing the Lakers, Clippers, Knicks, Heat, Mavericks and 76ers as teams he’d like Brooklyn to consider in a possible sign-and-trade should he not reach a long-term agreement. The seven-time All-Star is currently locked in an ongoing contract dispute with the franchise ahead of the start of free agency on June 30.
Additionally, Wojnarowski reported Thursday that while Irving has an interest in each of the reported teams, he is not “necessarily a priority” for all six franchises at this time. It’s also worth noting that none of Irving’s preferred teams have the requisite cap space to sign him without the Nets’ help.
