Kyrie Irving is, undoubtedly and unquestionably, one of the best basketball players in the world.
You still have to wonder why anyone would want him on their team.
Irving is reportedly at an “impasse” in discussions with the Brooklyn Nets about his future. Details are scarce, but The Athletic reported that Irving is considering “the open marketplace” rather than exercising his $36.9 million player option for the 2022-23 season prior to the June 29 deadline.
The story is probably just a negotiating ploy by a pouting player, and whatever it is Irving desires, he may wind up getting from Brooklyn.
