Irving has a contract with the Brooklyn team until the end of the current season. After the end of the bond, the player will be able to sign with any other franchise without needing an exchange. However, according to the sources, the shipowner’s desire is to make the change of airs before the deadline for exchanges.
Moves between NBA teams can only be made in the period for exchanges determined by the league, so the current season ends next Thursday. That is, if an agreement is not reached by date, Irving will be obliged to fulfill his contract at the Nets, only being able to negotiate with another team after the playoffs.
Irving has an NBA title, in the 2015/16 season, when he was in Cleveland Cavaliers, the team that drafted the point guard. Then the athlete had a passage through the Boston Celticsbut which ended with a very troubled environment and with Kyrie clearly dissatisfied, forcing him to move to the Brooklyn Nets, a franchise he has defended since 2019.
