Kyrie Irving set on playing in Brooklyn this coming season?

“Kyrie Irving opted in with the full intent of playing out next season as a Brooklyn Net,” Charania said on the Pat McAfee Show. “In his mind, he’s playing next year in Brooklyn with or without Kevin Durant.”

Nick Nurse and his foundation are hosting a charity golf tournament just north of Toronto next Wednesday. Among the expected participants: Julius Irving, who’s on the board of Nurse’s foundation, as well as a former Raptor and avid golfer you may have heard of… Kyle Lowry. – 3:13 PM Ian Begley @IanBegley

More on this storyline

Kyrie Irving: I don’t ever have to Gas myself up. I am going on my 12th year in the best league in the world and I am only getting better. When I am 38 years old and have time to reflect on my career truly, I will do so, but until then, I am enjoying every moment. And no I won’t be done playing basketball at 38 years old lol, I’ll be in leagues all over the world playing and teaching the youth all that was taught to me. -via Twitter @KyrieIrving / July 30, 2022 The Lakers’ well-chronicled lack of trade assets, meanwhile, has scuttled their attempts to pry Irving away from the Nets or even complete one of the fallback trades they’ve discussed, such as with Indiana to acquire Myles Turner and Buddy Hield (or Hield solo). Seemingly no one wants to make a trade with L.A. without getting back both of the Lakers’ two first-round picks they’re able to trade (2027 and 2029). The Lakers, to this point, have shown a willingness to surrender only one of the two … and, depending on the trade partner, they figure to seek protections on that pick rather than sending it out unprotected. -via marcstein.substack.com / July 29, 2022 Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant, as we seemingly discuss daily, is still said to be seeking a trade elsewhere. The Los Angeles Lakers still hope to find a route to acquiring Durant’s teammate Kyrie Irving. The New York Knicks, furthermore, still covet a trade for Utah’s Donovan Mitchell. -via marcstein.substack.com / July 29, 2022
