Here is the reality of the Nets’ gamble on Kyrie Irving in 2019 that has yet to pay off.
Remember this old chestnut from Samuel Clemens, better known to fans of literature as Mark Twain: “If you don’t like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.”
Or a few months, anyway.

Suddenly, with the reality of free agency a week and a half away, there is word that talks between Irving and the Nets. This could be true; you have to think the Nets’ brass, at the least, feels compelled to take a long and hard look at whether it wants to keep doing business with a player who — regardless of how you feel about mandatory vaccinations — willfully sabotaged the Nets’ 2021-22 season.
