Kyrie Irving’s leverage play to get a deal done in Brooklyn looks like it’s going pretty well so far. We may be witnessing the end of this era of the Nets as we know it.
Irving is reportedly looking for a long-term commitment and a max extension from Brooklyn. The Nets don’t really seem to want to give him one after he only played 103 games for them in 3 seasons, which seems pretty reasonable.
Kevin Durant does not care about that at all, though. It’s either KD and Kyrie or it’s nothing — at least, if the things currently being reported are true.
We might be seeing the end of this era of the Brooklyn Nets as we know it. That’s so wild.
