The Nets haven't met expectations this past season, so will they make a move this offseason? Trade with Kyrie Irving is certainly also the nets' ideal choice for pushing for a blockbuster trade, after all, Irving's off-court problems make it difficult for him to be a stable choice for the team to impact the championship.
So if Irving is on the shelves, how can the Nets move the deal forward? The advice given by james Pearsey is that the Nets can promote Irving's trade with the Lone Ranger:
Scenario 1:
The Nets got: Spencer Dinwiddie, Tim Hardaway Jr., 2026 first-round picks, 2028 first-round picks
Lone Ranger gets: Kyrie Owen
Scenario two:
Nets: Terry Rozier, Tim Hardaway Jr., 2026 first-round picks (from the Lone Rangers)
Hornets: Spencer Dinwiddie, 2028 first-round draft pick (from the Lone Rangers)
Lone Ranger gets: Kyrie Owen
Through these two trades, the Nets can exchange for a solid backcourt player and future first-round draft picks with Irving, especially the plan to return Dinwiddie to the Nets, which can even allow the Nets to get the Lone Ranger's two future first-round draft picks.
As for the Lone Ranger getting Owen, it is indeed a good way to reduce the pressure on Doncic, but it is estimated that the team owner will not tolerate Irving's off-court problems, so Irving's style and personality are unlikely to make him a reinforcement option for the Lone Ranger, which is an important reason why the above transaction is unlikely to become a reality.
