Although Kyrie Irving has decided to accept his player option with the Brooklyn Nets for next season, rumors about a possible trade have not died down. LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers seemed potentially ahead of everyone else for Kyrie before he made his decision, but apparently there are at least three other top teams that want Irving.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the three other franchises that have significant interest in a potential trade for the enigmatic Nets superstar are the Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, and Philadelphia 76ers:
“There were other teams considering him for a possible trade–Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia.” Shams said on the Pat McAfee Show. “But at the end of the day, he made a move where he said, ‘I’m committed. I’m staying in Brooklyn, I want to win here’ “.
