Irving is in the final year of a four-year, $136 million contract with the Nets … and was reportedly seeking a long-term extension from the franchise.
Kyrie — who has been with Brooklyn since 2019 — initially came to the Nets with his teammate and friend, Kevin Durant — but now, it appears he wants out of BK ASAP.
Irving was the subject of trade rumors this past summer … but the NBA champ came into the season with the hopes the Nets would one day sign him to a long-term deal.
The Nets are facing a dilemma — trade Kyrie and split up him and KD, or watch Irving leave for nothing when he becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
Despite all the drama, Irving — who was named an All-Star starter — has been stellar on the court … averaging 27 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
