The Nets’ tumultuous offseason is almost over, and on Monday Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving addressed everything that happened over the summer. The biggest storyline was Durant’s trade request and his eventual return to the fold in Brooklyn. Although it was an uncertain time for fans, Irving had a signature reaction.
“It was just a lot. Like, hearing Kev wanted a trade request, I opt in, it’s awkward,” Irving said. “It’s very awkward. I’m sitting at home, like, I don’t know what to think of it, but because there’s a trust that we have within each other, I just ultimately want to see him do well and be happy.
