The Bottom Line
As the trade deadline approaches, rumors are circulating all across the league. News broke yesterday that was confirmed to be a fact is that Brooklyn Nets All Star Kyrie Irving has demanded a trade. The Nets were playing well despite Kevin Durant being out and Ben Simmons not playing up to expectations. This news comes at a critical time and will surely ruin the momentum that was built in Brooklyn. This team can’t seem to escape distractions and drama. The Washington Wizards will take advantage of this situation as Kyrie Irving will now be out of the game.
