Could Kyrie Irving actually force the Nets into a sign and trade?

Nets and Kyrie Irving stall in negotiations. Could he leave Brooklyn?: A report came out on Monday that the Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving had reached an “impasse” in contract negotiations and there was now a feeling that Irving could begin exploring other options on the market. Whether it’s just posturing or a real sign that the two sides are very far apart is difficult to tell. Whatever it means, if the Nets and Irving weren’t able to reach an agreement, Brooklyn would be hard-pressed to find ways to bring on the same kind of talent this off-season. The Locked on Nets guys discuss this news, what it means for the two sides, how it all could play out and what to keep an eye out for both short and long term. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Kevin Durant and the Nets have the pieces to make other teams worried: Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the Brooklyn Nets continue to be in such an interesting situation at this point in the season, fourth in the East and still maybe climbing.

It’s an interesting question as the Locked on Nets guys examine the squad and what could actually happen over the next couple of months leading to the trade deadline. The guys flip some of the discussion into thinking about how Brooklyn should lean into its strengths and maybe resist the urge to add a superfluous piece. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have Kyrie Irving Trade Talks Already "Lost Traction?" What Leverage do the Lakers Have?: Last week, momentum seemed to be gathering around a trade that would bring Kyrie Irving to the Lakers. This week, Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that the teams no longer have any "traction" on a deal, and he's wondering if the thing will ever happen at all. So what happens now? Are the Lakers and Nets each destined to hold on to their respective problematic point guards? Well, a lot of it has to do with leverage. The Lakers have a little bit over the Nets - namely that no other teams seem interested in acquiring Kyrie - and the Nets have more over L.A., because without a deal it's pretty certain the Lakers won't have a shot at winning anything significant this season. Fans want action. LeBron James wants action! Can the Lakers, then, afford not to act? And when it's all said and done, how much pressure are the Nets really under to make a deal? Does it have to get done before the year? by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Do the Nets need to extend Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving before next season?: The Locked On Nets guys are starting to take a deeper dive into the Brooklyn Nets offseason and what question the team will need to answer around every player. They kick things off with an in-depth conversation around the Big Three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving focusing specifically on the possible contract extensions each can sign starting in August. Are these extensions crucial for the team and players going into next season and is this quietly, or not so much, the most important thing the Nets do in the off-season? The guys look at the possibilities, get into the numbers and discuss why this is such an important move even though all three are under contract now and have player options for the 2022-23 season.

Should the Lakers Wait for Kyrie Irving or Trade Now for Buddy Hield? How Badly Do They Need a Deal?: Some interesting numbers were released today by our friends at Betonline - namely, the first look at win projections. Every team gets a marker set, and bettors can go over or under. Well, almost every team. The Lakers and Brooklyn Nets were conspicuously off the board. Why? Because people are expecting trades (or at least recognizing the possibility) and understand the impact could have a massive impact on win totals. If the Nets trade Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, for example, and if the Lakers both ditch Russell Westbrook, and/or acquire someone like Irving or perhaps Indiana sharpshooter Buddy Hield and maybe center Myles Turner. They're not giving the Lakers a number until they know what kind of team that number is assigned to. It indicates a big range of potential outcomes, depending on what the Lakers do.

Kyrie Irving opts in with Nets. What Next For the Lakers? Plus, Would Malik Monk Take Less to Stay?: The world woke up Monday to news that the relationship between Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets continued to deteriorate, and the star guard had permission to look for a sign and trade deal that would end his stay with the Nets. The Lakers, it was said, were the only team that showed interest. But Brooklyn, it was said, didn't want Russell Westbrook. So would it be a three-team deal? Four? How far would the Lakers go to simultaneously add the dynamic (if problematic) scorer and rid themselves of the Westbrook problem? Well, by 4 pm local time, it was a moot point. Kyrie announced, in the most pretentious way possible, he'll be staying with the Nets. Irving opts into the final year of his contract, and while that doesn't mean he can't be traded, it does mean he can't be part of a sign-and-trade that would bring him the contract Brooklyn seems unwilling to provide.
