The Brooklyn Nets are in disarray once again, as the team once again has to deal with a trade request. It was recently revealed that Kyrie Irving has demanded a trade from the franchise, and it is quite possible that the Nets will decide to move him ahead of the trade deadline.
A recent report revealed that the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams that are in the running for Kyrie Irving. The Nets would likely demand a lot from either team to part ways with their star. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, they want point guard Spencer Dinwiddie and forward Dorian Finney-Smith from the Dallas Mavericks to make a deal.
It’s believed that Brooklyn would covet former Net Spencer Dinwiddie and in-demand swingman Dorian Finney-Smith in a prospective trade with the Mavericks, while Dallas would surely insist on moving off at least one of its longer contracts (Tim Hardaway Jr. or Dāvis Bertāns) in a theoretical Irving deal.
There is no doubt that Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith would help the Brooklyn Nets stay competitive in the Kevin Durant timeline. It remains to be seen if Kyrie Irving does get traded to the Mavericks, however, as other teams have some solid offers as well.
The Phoenix Suns Also Want To Acquire Kyrie Irving
One of the Phoenix Suns’ greatest weaknesses has been their lack of a go-to scorer next to Devin Booker. Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges are all solid complementary players who can score, but none of them scores at an All-Star level.
Thus, it is no surprise to see that the Phoenix Suns are a team that is interested in acquiring Kyrie Irving. One thing that was noted is that they are one of the few teams that can make a deal that will keep both them and the Nets as championship-level teams.
Phoenix is viewed as one of the few teams capable of facilitating a deal with Brooklyn that could keep both teams in championship pursuit.
There is no doubt that the Phoenix Suns could build a competitive offer for Kyrie Irving. Any deal would likely be centered around point guard Chris Paul, with some draft compensation or younger players in the deal as a sweetener for the Nets.
It remains to be seen what will happen in the future. The trade deadline is only a few days away, and we’ll see if the Nets end up moving Kyrie Irving before it is too late to make a trade.
