Recently, Kyrie Irving can be said to be the hottest topic in the league, first of all, according to the US media Shams Charania, Irving seems to have the possibility of returning to the game for the Nets, because he has active communication with Durant, and Charania also shows that the Nets players and coaching staff will welcome Irving's return with open arms.
However, there is no mention in Charania's article how the Nets solved Irving's dilemma, whether it was Irving's vaccination or the Nets' concessions that allowed Irving to play only on the road.
In addition to this, Jack Fisher of the Open Stand noted that the Nets are open to Irving's trade:
It also means that if Irving is reluctant to be vaccinated and play for the Nets, the best option for the team is indeed to put Irving on the shelves and push for a deal that gives the team better lineup depth.
In this regard, there has been news in recent times that the Lone Ranger has spoken to the Nets about promoting a trade involving Irving, of which Porzingis is part of the chip:
"It is not known whether the negotiations between the Nets and the Mavericks have entered preliminary stages," SNY reporter Ian Begley wrote in the report.
Mark Cuban, the owner of the Lone Rangers, said in an interview with the US media Mark Stein that the Lone Rangers have not negotiated with the Nets on the matter of trading Kyrie Irving:
Still, the Nets' push for a trade involving Porzingis with the Lone Rangers is not entirely impossible, especially if Irving is still unable to play for the team, and trading back an interior player who can protect the basket and open up space is not a bad option. Of course, there is still a lot of uncertainty about the possibility of Irving's comeback or trading.
