The last days are assuming for the fans of Brooklyn Nets a real hell. All the information that is coming to light about the New York franchise foresees an unsustainable situation that possibly ends with the current project of the team completely crumbling.
It all started with the breakdown in the negotiations between the Nets and Kyrie Irving about a contract extension in this upcoming Free Agency 2022. The base’s departure seems practically a fact (with the Los Angeles Lakers as the main favorite to get his transfer), something that has infuriated a Kevin Durant that his future in Brooklyn is no longer clear.
This is where it appears Miami Heat. The NBA Rumors had indicated a strong interest from the Florida franchise in agreeing to a trade for Irving. However, according to ESPN journalist Brian Windhorst, the plan of the team of which Pat Riley is President of Operations goes much deeper.
“The intention of ‘The Godfather’ (Pat Riley) is to let the Kyrie Irving situation blow up completely, and then wait patiently for Durant to ask the Brooklyn Nets to leave the team. That is the move that Miami plans,” Windhorst said. .
All for the best player in the world
If this case comes to pass, the Miami Heat have to be aware that Kevin Durant has recently renewed. With a contract until 2026, the Nets could afford to take all the time in the world negotiating their star’s departure. And they wouldn’t exactly ask for little for him.
