Irving did ‘Irving’ again. Kyrie Irving has officially requested a trade from Brooklyn.
ESPN announced on the 4th (Korean time) that Kyrie Irving has officially requested a trade from his team, the Brooklyn Nets.
The trade deadline for the 2022-2023 season is February 10 at 5:00 a.m. Korean time. Irving’s trade request brought the trade line, which is less than a week away, back into the limelight.
Irving’s reasons for leaving Brooklyn are clear. It’s because of the contract extension issue.
Irving will qualify for unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2023. It was possible to sign an extension contract with Brooklyn before the FA declaration, but it is known that there is a big difference between the two sides.
Irving wants a maximum-long contract extension, but Brooklyn is cautious. It’s because Irving is a ‘accident’ who does a lot of sudden actions. 메이저사이트
According to reports, the Brooklyn club was very reluctant to give a long-term contract in recent extension negotiations with Irving’s agent. In addition, it is rumored that he presented several conditions for signing a long-term contract. It is said that the conditions included contents such as maintaining the appearance of a reliable player without unexpected actions, playing at a high level, and not causing further controversy.
Eventually Irving drew his sword. Irving has requested an official trade from the Brooklyn club through his agent. A preferred destination was not presented separately, and due to this, several teams are being discussed as Irving’s new destination. The Lakers and Dallas are examples.
The Kyrie Irving trade looks set to heat up the trade deadline this year. This is because the atmosphere has been somewhat quiet until recently as big fish stars did not come out for trade.
However, due to Irving’s sudden trade request, teams that need reinforcements are more likely to actively move. The key is how much to recruit Irving for.
