“I feel that’s one other consideration Brooklyn has to make about whether or not it’s a optimistic or damaging to maneuver Kyrie Irving both earlier than Kevin Durant or after Kevin Durant,” Woj mentioned concerning an Irving commerce on NBA Right now. “The market is definitely very completely different for Kevin Durant than it’s for Kyrie Irving. “The Nets have talked with the Lakers and I consider there was back-and-forth, some communication. You look at where there’s cap space right now and a team like San Antonio could be a facilitator right now in let’s say a Russell Westbrook for Kyrie Irving deal between the teams. They’ve the cap house. Now, you must incentivize them at a reasonably excessive degree and I feel that’s the willingness of the Lakers to incentivize a cope with a number of draft picks. I feel that’s a part of the rationale that the deal hasn’t gone anyplace but.” -via NetsDaily / July 7, 2022
