Kyrie Irving
While Kyrie Irving has a player option this summer. Up until recently, accepting it and suiting up for the Brooklyn Nets was generally viewed as a formality.
The keywords in that sentence are “up until recently”. Things change quickly in the National Basketball Association. Rumors suggest that what was supposed to be a Brooklyn Nets juggernaut is quickly losing steam.
Apparently, the team is apprehensive about giving long-term money to a player who hasn’t exactly demonstrated a wholesale commitment to the sport of basketball. That’s understandable. If Irving is due for departure this summer, could he make his way to sunny Los Angeles?
He’d be a perfect fit with this roster. They could use a point guard. The mental image of the prodigiously talented Irving using his unworldly handles to penetrate the defense with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the wings ought to be terrifying for opposing teams.
