What landing spots make sense for Kyrie Irving? The Phoenix Suns are interested, but would that deal include Chris Paul, or would they try to ride a backcourt with Paul, Devin Booker and Irving? Analysis from sam_amick, MikeVorkunov & Alex__Schiffer:
, who lack a point guard? They have the pieces to trade, but not the draft picks. Clippers coach Ty Lue knows who he’s dealing with in Irving, too, from their time together in Cleveland. But are they desperate enough?
The Mavericks, who are reportedly interested, are a unique one. Would the Nets trade for Dinwiddie, who reinvented his career in Brooklyn? From a reliability and drama perspective, it would be a huge 180. Or has he become too important for the Mavericks? It’s worth remembering Dallas has Dinwiddie, and former front-office member Matt Riccardi down there to help due their homework on Irving. If the Mavericks pull the trigger, they can’t say they’d be surprised by Irving’s antics.I was already skeptical of Durant’s Nets future just because of the current state of the team.
We all knew it was going to get messy when the offseason arrived, with Irving’s free agency and the Simmons situation that continues to cause great consternation in the Nets’ world, as Alex mentioned above. But the ‘what-if’ component is the legacy of this group, I suppose. Durant is still signed through the 2025-26 season, so it will be interesting to see how he plays it from here.I struggle to talk about anything with the Nets right now with any kind of certainty.
