These have not been good and peaceful days for the organization and management of the Brooklyn Nets. They went from having one of the best duos in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and be candidates, to perhaps not possess any of that. Kevin Durant Y Kyrie Irvinga project without results.
It all started in the all star game of 2019, where both players, according to many reports, agreed that next season they would play together on the same team. That finally, with the two as free agents, ended up materializing in the Nets.
Thus began a journey in which, in the middle, he joined james harden. Then the escort would go and join Ben Simmons. However, the important thing is that these two, as fundamental pieces, did not work, and now the team could lose both of them.
This conflict arose because Irving would not be satisfied, and could leave or ask for a trade. This would make Durant leave as well, although he may prefer to stick with Kyrie in Brooklyn. Therefore, Stephen A. Smith opined in ESPN that the point guard betrayed his partner.
Durant was betrayed by Irving
“Kyrie Irving betrayed Kevin Durant. Totally betrayed. You convince him to go to Brooklyn with you, to support you, and then you leave him hanging.. What he wants to do (Durant) is play. But Kyrie forces him into drama. Is it a fair conversation to say that Kyrie Irving doesn’t care about championships?Smith said.
“Kyrie Irving has betrayed Kevin Durant. Totally betrayed him.”
