Kyrie Irving is once again the man of the hour in the NBA after he shockingly requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie and his team couldn’t reach an agreement for a new contract extension, which prompted the player to request a trade after almost four years with the team.
This situation sparked a lot of reactions, with fans showing their surprise at Kyrie’s request and the rest of the NBA starting to work to get a deal done for the 2016 NBA champion.
Kyrie is showing that when he’s fully focused on basketball, he can be an elite talent in the league, which is why so many teams around the association will try to acquire his services before the trade deadline strikes.
The Los Angeles Lakers And Dallas Mavericks Showing Strong Interest In Kyrie Irving
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks are expected to be very active in trying to complete a move for Kyrie, as he would make them instant championship contenders.
The Lakers and Mavericks are among the teams Brooklyn is expected to engage in Kyrie Irving trade talks as next Thursday's 3 PM ET trade deadline approaches, league sources say.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that the Phoenix Suns could be involved in this mix too, and they appear to have the better assets to keep the Nets happy while giving Kyrie a chance to play for another contender.
Still, we have to wait until next Thursday to know what will happen with Kyrie and the Nets. They could lose the player for nothing in the summer, but fortunately, Kyrie’s market is a lot bigger now than it was during his suspension from the team.
It seems like before the NBA enters a crucial period, Brooklyn Nets players decide they need to make a big move and draw a lot of attention. It happened with Kevin Durant before free agency, and it’s happening now with Kyrie.
