Contrary to recent reports, the Sixers are not pursuing a trade for Nets guard Kyrie Irving, a source tells Liberty Ballers. Additionally, the team is unlikely to trade for Rockets guard Eric Gordon at this time.
Despite opting into his player option for 2022-23, the mercurial but ultra-talented Irving appears to be on the market after future HOFer Kevin Durant asked for a trade out of Brooklyn. Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reported Saturday that the Nets and Lakers have discussed a deal with Irving headed to L.A. and Russell Westbrook and additional assets going back to Brooklyn.
