American professional basketball player Kyrie Andrew Irving (born March 23, 1992) currently plays for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets (NBA). He was the first overall pick in the 2011 NBA draught, and the Cleveland Cavaliers used that position to select him. In 2016, he led the Cavaliers to an NBA title and became the team’s first eight-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA selection.
Before joining the Cavaliers in 2011, Irving starred for the Duke Blue Devils in college hoops. He was chosen as the best player in the 2014 All-Star Game and was named MVP. Irving’s game-winning three-pointer in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals sealed the Cavaliers’ miraculous comeback victory over the Warriors. Irving demanded a trade after the 2017 NBA Finals, and the Celtics obliged.
Kyrie Irving Requests Trade From Nets Before Deadline
Kyrie Irving is on the hunt for a new home after failing to get a contract extension. ESPN and The Athletic report that the All-Star point guard has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. According to Friday’s story, Irving made the request after contract negotiations reportedly went poorly for him.
It’s possible that his time with the team will come to an end either at the trade deadline or at the end of the current season, which is less than a week away. The Nets passed up an opportunity to extend Irving’s deal last summer when he was eligible.
Shetellia Irving, who is both Irving’s agent and stepmother, confirmed to Bleacher Report last week that she had contacted the Nets about a contract extension for her client. After this season, Kyrie Irving’s current contract with the Nets will expire, making him free to sign a four-year, maximum $200 million contract with any team.
The Nets have been contacted,” Shetellia Irving said to Bleacher Report. To date, we have not had any substantive discussions. With the appropriate type of extension, the Nets can make Brooklyn their permanent home, so the onus is now on them to establish contact to see whether their goals are aligned.

This Is Why L.A. Kept Their Draught Picks And What A Nets Trade Could Look Like
The Los Angeles Lakers have been keeping their draught picks safe in order to keep 38-year-old LeBron James on the court for a bad club.
The Lakers were hopeful that a superstar who would warrant their inclusion would become available before the Feb. 9 trade deadline, so they decided against including one of their two remaining tradeable first-round picks in a deal involving Pacers role players Myles Turner and Buddy Hield earlier in the season or conceding one of their first-round picks in a smaller deal during the season.
Kyrie Irving Has No Free Agency Options And Can’t Trade Himself
The Brooklyn Nets must be feeling a sense of déjà vu in the wake of Kyrie Irving’s trade request, and I’m not talking about Kevin Durant’s departure. This time last year, Irving could have joined with any team he wanted as a free agency.

In hopes of signing a long-term contract with the Nets, he provided them with a list of potential sign-and-trade destinations when negotiations broke down. ESPN reports that he had a long list of potential destinations, including the Lakers, Clippers, Heat, 76ers, Mavericks, and Knicks. They lacked the salary cap room necessary to sign Irving on a free-agent basis.
The Nets weren’t interested in the Lakers’ offer, so ESPN claimed four days later that the Lakers were the only team actively pursuing a sign-and-trade for Irving. Irving made the decision to return to Brooklyn and his $37 million player option on the same day.
