As you can tell by our expressions: It’s all business w/ @Brian Lewis from Vegas on who #Nets brass are talking to about moving #Durant & how SOON it could happen. But can Brooklyn get the return value? And what did Kyrie say to Brian at #nbasummerleague? #SportsXtra pic.twitter.com/woE6HqW9Qy – 10:30 PM

Greetings from Thomas & Mack. Nets-Sixers about to tip off. BK starting Edwards, Gray, Sharpe, Duke and Cam Thomas. Steve Nash is in the house along with most of his coaching staff. Curious if we see any BK guys. Kyrie Irving and Nic Claxton are likely at the NBPA meeting. – 3:22 PM

That’s interesting. Brooklyn Nets promote their 2022-23 season tickets without Kyrie Irving, but with Kevin Durant in the poster. #NetsWorld #NetsLevel pic.twitter.com/Ob0TYXu9qd – 2:52 PM

Kyrie Irving took his seat on the baseline (and in front of me, so hope he does not jump up much) late in the fourth quarter of the previous game, which alas was about a half hour ago. Settled in for some Rockets-Thunder. – 9:00 PM

The Lakers’ ICY launch in Las Vegas and all the latest on Russell Westbrook and LA’s Kyrie Irving trade prospects … all here via my latest This Week In Basketball column freshly dispatched worldwide: marcstein.substack.com/p/the-lakers-i… – 12:57 PM
More on this storyline
Most league insiders felt any potential Irving-to-Los Angeles deal would be on hold until the Nets trade Kevin Durant. And with the asking price incredibly high for the 33-year-old 12-time All-Star, if and when a Durant deal gets done is anyone’s guess. -via Los Angeles Times / July 11, 2022 Get Up: .@NickFriedell says the conversation in Vegas is that Kyrie will be a Laker![⬇](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/2b07.png)
