The downfall of the big 3 in the Brooklyn Nets franchise, including Kyrie Irving, is a topic of intense discussion among fans. The recent trade request by Irving during the 2022-23 season has been the center of attention for many. According to Dallas Mavericks forward Markieff Morris, Irving’s contract extension negotiations with the Nets fell through due to business reasons, leading to his desire to be traded.
Despite his impressive performance on the court during the first half of the season, Irving was unable to negotiate an extension with the Nets. Business factors interfered with their decision-making process, and Irving’s dream of continuing to play for the team where he grew up was overshadowed by controversies and availability issues. Ultimately, Irving’s inability to reach a compromise led him to request a trade, threatening to sit out for the rest of the season if his demand was not met.
The story first appeared on Nets Wire and has sparked ongoing discussions within the fanbase about what went wrong with one of their most talented players. Despite this setback, however, Irving is now competing for a title with his new team, the Dallas Mavericks, against his former team, the Boston Celtics.
