The Nets have granted Kyrie Irving’s request to explore potential sign-and-trade packages this offseason, according to the New York Daily News’s Kristian Winfield.
Irving is eligible to opt out of his current contract this summer and enter free agency. He can also opt in to $36.5 million for next season.
It could be a tumultuous summer for Brooklyn after the Nets were eliminated by the Celtics in the first round of the 2022 playoffs. Irving’s future with the franchise remains unclear, and Kevin Durant has not spoken with Nets GM Sean Marks this offseason, per Winfield.
