Basketball fans and analysts around the world will be paying close attention to the Brooklyn Nets this offseason. Rumors and speculation have already started to circulate around the NBA, especially when it comes to Irving's future.

While some still expect Irving to still decide to return to the Brooklyn Nets on a contract extension, there's still a chance that Irving could choose another route. It's even been speculated that Irving could decline his player option, allowing him to become a free agent.

If Irving does decide to stick around with the Brooklyn Nets, there's no denying that the roster would still be one of the most talented teams in the entire league.

They have Kevin Durant and will hope to see Ben Simmons return to action next season. The Nets will still have the potential to be a dangerous team to deal with for any opposing squad.
