NYC Mayor Eric Adams Rips Kyrie Irving After Nets-Mavericks Trade
When asked how he would handle a person like Kyrie Irving in his realm of work, NYC Mayor Eric Adams had quite the answer. Taking a clear jab at the former Brooklyn Nets guard, Mayor Adams said, "I will find the team that beats us the most and then send him to that team because we would start beating that team... No matter how much talent you have, your ability to interact with your colleagues is more important."
It was clear that Mayor Adams felt a certain type of way about Irving and how his tenure with the Nets unfolded, suggesting that Brooklyn is better off without him. That much still remains to be seen, as the Nets are attempting to retool their roster around Kevin Durant and the package they received in the Irving deal. Still with championship aspirations, the Nets have a big hole to fill in Irving's absence, and will likely attempt to fill it with more than one player.
New York City officials and Kyrie Irving have been connected for a while now, dating back to the NYC mandates scenario that was so closely followed - and directly impacted Irving. When asked about a hypothetical scenario with a person like Irving in his field or work, Mayor Adams made it clear that he would gladly trade that person elsewhere if given the opportunity.
