Appearing this morning on ESPN?s ?KJM,? Brian Windhorst cited a ?high-90% chance? that the Nets will honor Durant?s trade request and said any deal involving Kyrie Irving will have to wait until Durant is moved. Irving only wants to go to the Lakers, but that means the Nets would have to take Russell Westbrook, who makes about $11MM more than Irving, and working out other compensation for Brooklyn won?t be easy. ? via Hoops Rumors
I get players should get to choose where they want to play, but in this case Kyrie shouldn?t have opted in if that?s the case. I know the huge money difference, but if he opted in he shouldn?t have a say in where he goes. Unfortunately it appears the Lakers are the only team that wants him.
