Kyrie Irving's future with the Brooklyn Nets will become a whole lot clearer in a few days' time. The seven-time All-Star is unwilling to accept anything less than a max deal from the Nets. But the Nets are reluctant to offer him a max deal as they are unsure about his commitment to the franchise.
This has resulted in a standoff that might result in Irving becoming a free agent.
Kyrie Irving has included the Dallas Mavericks on the list of teams he would like to join, but analyst Nick Wright hopes the Nets guard does not end up alongside Luka Doncic.
While he acknowledged Irving's talent, he remarked that Doncic needs to be his team's leader.
"I want him nowhere near my large adult Slovenian son," Wright said on First Things First. "Kyrie is a brilliant basketball player when he plays, but Luka needs to be doing his own thing on his own team."
Nick Wright believes Kyrie Irving to the Miami Heat works
There have been tons of brainstorming sessions carried out by NBA analysts to find the best possible outcome for the Kyrie Irving-Brooklyn Nets standoff. While some have stated that a move to the LA Lakers is Irving’s best bet, others have disagreed.
Nick Wright, on his part, feels Irving should head to the Miami Heat. He stated that among the teams on the Nets guard's wishlist, the Heat made the most sense.
"The Lakers don't have the picks or the players to make a trade. The only way for the Lakers to get Kyrie is if Kyrie wants to play for that six million bucks. The Clippers have the players but they have no picks. I don't know that the Nets are gonna be super interested in Norman Powell or Marcus Morris or Reggie Jackson or Luke Bernard.
"The Sixers make very little sense to me, because are you trading him for James Harden or are you uniting him with James Harden when that didn't go so well?" Wright stated. "So that leaves me with one team that sure does seem to make a lot of sense and can make it happen and that team is Miami."
