If you’re a Nets fan and have grown tired of Kyrie Irving, Monday is a good day. Pending a physical, he no longer plays for Brooklyn and will be joining the Dallas Mavericks. This trade materialized just a couple of days after his request to be dealt was made public. But what could this mean for Kevin Durant and his future with the Nets?
Let’s not forget that outside of requesting his own trade over the summer (and eventually rescinding that request), Durant just signed a four-year deal with Brooklyn. The 34-year-old was playing at an MVP-caliber level before injuring his knee a few weeks ago.
