Is it leverage or is it real? It’s certainly part of the negotiations
Within four minutes Thursday afternoon, both Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania posted tweets that seems to suggest that negotiations between the Nets and Kyrie Irving may not be going well.
ESPN Sources: If Kyrie Irving can’t reach an agreement to stay with Brooklyn, he has a list of teams he’d like them to consider on sign-and-trades, including Lakers, Clippers, Knicks, Heat, Mavs and 76ers. None of those teams have cap space to sign him without Nets’ help.
