Kyrie Irving rumors: Lakers, Knicks interested in All-Star as contract ... (CBSSports.com)

Irving has a player option that he can use to become a free agent in July, and that gives him meaningful leverage with the Nets in terms of landing with a ...

In all likelihood, the Nets would prefer to send Westbrook to a third team. If the Nets don't cooperate in sending Irving to the destination of his choice in a trade, he can threaten to simply walk to the Knicks for nothing. The Lakers and Clippers cannot create the cap space necessary to sign Irving outright, but both would surely have interest in adding the star point guard through a trade. According to Shams Charania, the Lakers, Clippers and Knicks would all be interested in Irving if he becomes available. The Knicks are likely the single-most important team involved in these proceedings because unlike the Lakers and the Clippers, they at least have somewhat plausible paths to cap space. Kyrie Irving has made it clear that he would prefer to remain in Brooklyn with the Nets at every turn.

Kyrie Irving, Nets not discussing contract extension; Opens door for ... (TalkBasket.net)

As the 2022 NBA offseason officially tips off, the drama between Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets have suddenly exploded.

He further noted that this could signal the star point guard to part ways and sign a deal elsewhere. Irving had a notorious 2021-2022 season due to his COVID-19 vaccination and unavailability to play in the Nets home games due to New York’s vaccine mandate. He may decide to opt it out and ink a much bigger paycheck with the Nets this summer.

He played just 29 games this season and missed most of the team's home games because of his decision not to comply with New York City’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Brooklyn was eventually swept out of the first round of the playoffs by Irving's former team, the Boston Celtics. The Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks are all expected to be among the potential suitors should Irving become available, Charania reports.

Kyrie Irving trade rumors: Could Nets star leave Brooklyn in free ... (Sporting News)

Here is what we know about Irving's situation, including potential landing spots if he can't reach an agreement with the Nets.

The Lakers reportedly have "no intention" of using a future first-round pick to entice a team to take on Westbrook's contract, so why would the Nets ship out Irving without receiving any positive assets in return? Because of their financial limitations, the Clippers would most likely need Irving to opt in and help facilitate a trade. Unlike the Clippers, the Lakers currently have no one in that middle tier except Talen Horton-Tucker ($10.3 million), so working with the Nets and/or a third team would be a huge challenge. The New York Daily News' Kristian Winfield reported last month that Brooklyn is "outright unwilling" to give Irving a long-term extension. After a tumultuous 2018-19 season, he left the Celtics and signed with the Nets in free agency. Charania's bombshell dropped just three days before the 2022 NBA Draft and nine days before the deadline on that $36.5 million player option, setting the stage for a wild offseason in Brooklyn.

Kyrie Irving prêts à quitter les Nets ? Lakers et Knicks en embuscade (BasketSession)

En 2019, les Brooklyn Nets affichaient fièrement leurs ambitions après avoir signé Kevin Durant et Kyrie Irving lors de la même intersaison.

Irving a notamment suscité de nombreuses polémiques la saison passée en refusant de se faire vacciner, quitte à se retrouver à l'écart des Nets pendant plusieurs mois. Selon Shams Charania, les deux parties seraient même loin d'un accord au sujet d'une extension de contrat. Les relations entre le management et le joueur se sont d'ailleurs refroidies entretemps.

Dans ces conditions, l’insider nous apprend qu’Irving a commencé à sonder le marché à la recherche d’opportunités. Et plusieurs cadors sont à l’affut. C’est dans ces conditions pas forcément évidentes, et après un sweep net et sans bavure au premier tour des playoffs, que les discussions devaient débuter entre l’ancien des Cavs et la franchise new-yorkaise. Pire, la situation semble régresser. Le divorce pourrait même bien être entamé selon Shams Charania, qui révèle que les Lakers, entre autres sont à l’affut…

Les négociations entre Kyrie Irving et les Nets dans l'impasse (L'Équipe.fr)

Les négociations entre Kyrie Irving et les dirigeants des Brooklyn Nets concernant une prolongation de contrat n'avanceraient pas, selon The Athletic.

Irving avait pourtant affirmé son intention de continuer l'aventure avec les Nets aux côtés de Kevin Durant et Ben Simmons malgré le sweep au premier tour des play-offs face aux Boston Celtics (0-4). La saison dernière, il a tourné en moyenne à 27,2 points, 6,1 passes et 3,9 rebonds en seulement 29 matches en raison de sa décision de ne pas se conformer au mandat de vaccination en vigueur à New York. Arrivé en 2019 chez les Nets, le meneur de jeu américain dispose d'une player option à 36,5 millions de dollars (34,6 millions d'euros) pour la saison 2022-2023, qui lui permettrait de tester le marché. L'avenir de Kyrie Irving (30 ans) pourrait ne plus s'inscrire du côté des Brooklyn Nets. Selon The Athletic, et son journaliste Shams Charania, les discussions seraient au point mort entre les deux parties concernant une prolongation de contrat, si bien qu'Irving pourrait tester le marché cet été. Les Lakers, Knicks et Clippers seraient intéressés.

Kyrie Irving rumors: Lakers, Knicks among five potential destinations ... (CBSSports.com)

We're talking about one of the more unpredictable players the NBA has ever seen. He's pledged to stay with every team he's ever departed. He pledged not to ...

If they can convince the Nets they have a path to doing so, they might be able to convince Brooklyn to cooperate on a more palatable deal. Paul is so important to Phoenix's culture that he's almost certainly not going to be on the table. When Irving asked the Cavaliers for a trade in 2018, he reportedly had four teams on his wishlist: the Knicks, the Spurs, the Timberwolves and the Heat. We've covered the Knicks. The Spurs are out of contention. The Heat also opened up a bit more draft flexibility at the trade deadline by changing the protections on a pick they owe to Oklahoma City. That could allow them to give up a first-round pick or two to sweeten the pot here. But if the Nets are open to a "four quarters for a dollar" trade construction, the Clippers can make a fairly compelling offer. He also fits Miami's star-hunting profile, and after their half-court offense sputtered against Boston, he could provide the scoring lift they need to make it back to the Finals. There have long been rumors of his interest in playing with Jimmy Butler. You could potentially get funky in a multi-team construction, but for now, any hope the Lakers have in actually landing Irving relies on his interest in going to Los Angeles. They just aren't going to offer the best package. - The Nets cannot realistically accept any 2022 free agents back in a sign-and-trade because it would trigger a hard cap that they are almost certain to exceed. Irving is the rare player who might actually be good enough to justify this sort of dysfunction, and the Nets know it. This isn't a rebuilding trade, and the Nets need to make sure they don't alienateKevin Durant. And he's going to make the biggest shots of your season. You'd have to do it with the understanding that he's going to miss games due to injury, and he's going to miss games for reasons other than injury as well.

Kyrie Irving to the Lakers? A look at LeBron reunion options (Los Angeles Times)

A look at what happens if Kyrie Irving declines his $36-million player option with the Brooklyn Nets to become a free agent or forces a trade.

Sign-and-trade deals aren’t options because of the cap implications, meaning Irving would need to first opt in with the Nets. And luckily, for the Lakers, Russell Westbrook’s expiring contract is functionally a match. Irving has the option to become a free agent this summer if he were to turn down a player option for nearly $37 million to return to the Nets for the final year of his deal. Brooklyn won just one of their three playoff series, though they lost to eventual champion Milwaukee in seven games with Irving hurt for the finale. It’s not impossible in the strict definitions of the word. That opens the door for Irving to find a new home.

All this rumbling about Irving and the Lakers was undoubtedly made public because Irving is angling for the Nets to sign him to the maximum four-year, $190-million contract. He was eventually shouted down by the likes of James, and the Lakers eventually won their 17th title. But in three seasons, Irving has played in only 103 of 226 possible games while the Nets have only won one playoff series and were swept twice. But he later demanded a trade because he didn’t want to share the court with James. He is one of the league’s most clutch performers … when he doesn’t quit. Irving is one of the league’s best players … when he plays.

Les négociations entre le meneur des Nets et le front office sont dans l'impasse. Un départ de Kyrie Irving pourrait alors se profiler cet été.

Mais, à moins de mettre le salaire de Russell Westbrook dans la balance, difficile de monter un tel échange et convaincre Durant d'accueillir son ancien coéquipier. Les Knicks sont également dans les conversations. Par le passé à Cleveland ou à Boston, il n'a pas hésité à retourner sa veste pour changer d'équipe. Cela sera-t-il le cas à Brooklyn ? Après la défaite en playoffs, Kyrie a affirmé qu'il n'avait pas l'intention d'aller où que ce soit.

Kyrie Irving, l'unique chance des Lakers sur ce dossier (BasketSession)

Pour récupérer le meneur des Brooklyn Nets Kyrie Irving cet été, les Los Angeles Lakers ont seulement un scénario viable.

Les Lakers ne peuvent pas formuler une proposition plus intéressante. Est-ce qu'elle sera suffisante ? Impossible à dire. Et ensuite, il aura la possibilité de rejoindre les Californiens en sacrifiant plus de 20 millions de dollars. Et pour rendre un deal possible, le joueur de 30 ans va donc devoir activer son option. Après un futur déjà grandement sacrifié pour obtenir Davis, un tel mouvement incarnerait un gros risque. Autant le dire tout de suite, il s'agit d'une option impossible à imaginer. L'ancien des Cleveland Cavaliers peut toujours décliner sa "player option" à 36,9 millions de dollars pour la saison prochaine.

Report: Kyrie Irving ran second practice after Nash finished his last ... (NBC Sports)

The drama between Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets continues, but it's all a negotiating tactic — unless Irving is willing to take less to walk away.

Russell Westbrook has to be part of the trade, but then a third team (likely Oklahoma City) has to get involved, and the Lakers don’t have the picks and players to both make the Nets happy and have enough sweeteners to get OKC to take on a bunch of extra salary (they would want additional firsts to take on Westbrook’s contract). Lakers fans on Twitter are desperately trying to come up with workable scenarios, but they all fall short. • A LeBron James and Irving reunion is a great headline, and this seems about the only path for a Lakers return to contention, but putting together a trade is exceedingly difficult. Players such as Alec Burks, Nerlens Noel, Evan Fournier, and others could be in the trade and it would leave the Knicks with Irving, RJ Barrett, and likely Julius Randle ( although whether he returns is still a question). This keeps Irving in New York but on a team fighting to avoid the play-in not contending for a ring. • On June 29 we will have our first real indication of where things are headed — that’s the day Irving has to decide whether or not to opt into his $36.5 million for next season. • In most cases, I would say this is simply public negotiations and the two sides will work out a deal — Irving said he wanted to stay with Kevin Durant and the Nets both can’t replace him and don’t want to anger KD — but Irving is the most unpredictable player in the league. If one player — one proven to have a wandering eye — were going to buck conventional wisdom and take less to leave a good situation, it would be Irving.
