NBA All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets couldn’t agree on an extension. So, the inevitable has arrived sooner than in summer.
Irving wanted to move from his hometown team Nets, with less than a week left before the Feb. 9 trade deadline, according to multiple reports.
The Nets reportedly offered an extension filled with guarantee stipulations, which Irving rejected, according to The Athletic.
