A Brooklyn team that was a preseason favorite to win the title got swept in the first round of the playoffs. And Irving played well, but logged only 29 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earances all season, largely due to his refusal to adhere to New York City\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Irving has averaged 27.1 points, 6.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds on stellar .490\/.406\/.920 shooting splits since arriving in June 2019 alongside Kevin Durant. But injuries, personal leaves and vaccine refusals have seen him miss 123 out of 226 regular-season contests \u2014 more than half the games.<\/p>\n<p>That has both raised questions about how much Brooklyn can count on him, and lowered his trade value around the NBA. Irving and the Nets have \u201cserious work to do\u201d to be able to hammer out an agreement, and if they don\u2019t, The Athletic posits that the crosstown rival Knicks could be a suitor, along with the Lakers and Clippers.<\/p>\n<p>Irving has until June 29 to pick up or decline his $36.9 million player option for next season. Watching the seven-time All-Star leave as a free agent would be the nuclear option and catastrophic for the Nets, who are over the cap and would have no way of replacing him. James Harden demanded a trade largely because of Irving\u2019s unavailability. Ironically, Ben Simmons ended up not playing this year.<\/p>\n<p>With all the teams that have cap space and the capacity to sign Irving as an unrestricted free agent in various stages of a rebuild, that makes a sign-and-trade the most likely means for a departure \u2013 and it has to be stressed that a departure is by no means guaranteed at this point.<\/p>\n<p>The Athletic report mentioned the Lakers as a destination, but didn\u2019t mention Russell Westbrook and his $47 million contract. Anthony Davis clearly seems unlikely. And in speculating about the Clippers, the report stated that two or three of Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard, Marcus Morris and Norman Powell would fit salary-wise with young sweeteners like Brandon Boston or Terance Mann. But it gives an idea how depressed the market is for Irving.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"736\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyrie-Irving-contract-Durant.jpg?w=736\" alt=\"Kevin Durant (7) and Kyrie Irving (11) during Game 2 in Boston on April 20, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-22729272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyrie-Irving-contract-Durant.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1104 1104w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyrie-Irving-contract-Durant.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=736 736w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyrie-Irving-contract-Durant.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=368 368w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyrie-Irving-contract-Durant.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\"\/><figcaption>Kevin Durant (7) and Kyrie Irving (11) during Game 2 in Boston on April 20, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Neither team has a first-round selection in Thursday\u2019s draft, with the Knicks holding pick No. 11.<\/p>\n<p>The report follows one by Jake Fischer last week in an online chat with Eddie Gonzalez of Boardroom, owned by Durant, in which Fischer cast doubt on Irving\u2019s future in Brooklyn.
