Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Kyle Lowry, G Gabe Vincent, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: G Kyrie Irving
We feel for Brooklyn Nets fans this summer. That’s not a joke – we really do.
This organization entered the 2021-22 season with a trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. It doesn’t feel like an exaggeration to say that grouping had the highest offensive potential of any in league history.
Unfortunately, they played precious few games together. Many would suggest that Irving’s unwillingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine ultimately led to the ultimate dissolution of the team.
Effectively, that’s why we’ve got him heading to the Miami Heat for such a modest package.

Irving is a risk. All 30 of the league’s general managers know it. The Nets have no chance of getting value that’s commensurate with his talent this summer. That’s the harsh reality of the situation.
Once again – we feel for Brooklyn Nets fans this summer. Could this possibly be enough to entice their team to move Irving?
