“He needs to worry about Brooklyn being in a good place with him” - Shannon Sharpe says the Brooklyn Nets have never wronged Kyrie Irving, believes there’s a 25 percent chance he gets traded

There has been no update on the rumors about the Brooklyn Nets trading Kyrie Irving. He has accepted his $37 million player option with the Nets for the 2022-23 season. The guard's preferred destination, however, is reportedly the LA Lakers.

Reports from NBA insider Ian Begley suggested that Irving is in a good place with the Nets. Reacting to the report, ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe commented that the Nets, by no means, wronged Irving. He then said that the seven-time All-Star should be concerned about the Nets being in a good place with him.

"The Nets didn't wrong Kyrie," Sharpe said. "The Nets have been nothing but very professional, and very cordial and very accommodating to Kyrie Irving. He's in a good place with Brooklyn.

"He needs to worry about Brooklyn being in a good place with him. They made it abundantly clear that his behavior in the way he's behaved over the last three years are unacceptable."

There have been a few updates regarding Irving's trade away from the Nets. Sharpe believed that the chances of the Nets trading the guard stands at 25 percent. Sharpe's predictions may be affected by his affinity for the Lakers. So, he may overestimate the chances of the Lakers acquiring Irving.
