Kyrie Irving has requested a trade from the Nets, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. It’s been a volatile season for Irving which started with controversy that led to a suspension. Irving and the team managed to overcome a dysfunctional start to the season and go on a run that has them currently with a 31-20 record.
The Nets will now have to decide whether to honor Irving’s trade request and get some value for him or continue their title pursuit and risk losing him in free agency.
