In the last hours of the NBA Rumors, Jake Fischer (journalist for Bleacher Report) has pointed out that Brooklyn Nets is focused on getting an acceptable deal for Kevin Durant before continuing negotiations with Los Angeles Lakers to arrange the departure of Kyrie Irving. The two players will leave New York, but the franchise does not want to lose control of the situation at any time.
Despite their minds on the Durant trade (in which the Phoenix Suns seem to have a considerable advantage over the rest of the competitors looking to sign the Brooklyn star), the Nets are not forgetting Irving either. That is why, as Jake Fischer himself has advanced, the New York team has informed the Lakers of their condition to agree to negotiate an agreement in which he is included Russell Westbrook.
“Although in the first conversations they have resisted accepting Westbrook as the main piece for Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets have not completely closed that door. It should be remembered that the Los Angeles franchise player will earn 11 million more than Kyrie. That is why so the capital of the Lakers 1st round Draft has to be included yes or yes,” Fischer said.
The return of the duo with LeBron
That the Brooklyn Nets are taking Irving’s move more calmly suggests that the negotiations with the Los Angeles Lakers will not get too complicated and it will go ahead when the Nets themselves want. If everything goes its way, the NBA will once again enjoy the LeBron James – Kyrie Irving couple.
