On June 24, Beijing time, according to the famous Shams report, Irving plans to execute the player option and apply to the Nets for a trade, seeking to join a new team.
Prior to this, Woj reported that if Irving could not reach a contract extension agreement with the Nets, he already had a list willing to sign first and then change to join the team. The list includes the Lakers, Clippers, Knicks, Heat, Mavericks and 76ers. It is worth mentioning that the reporter said that without the help of the Nets, any of the above teams will not have the space to sign Irving directly.
Owen wants to seek a deal, and the six favorites are exposed, let's see what netizens think of this?
As a Celtics fan, Kyrie is awesome. He fits in perfectly with Heat culture.
As a Celtics fan, Irving is fantastic. He was fully integrated into the culture of the Heat.

Incidentally, this team won the next two championships
Is that what he said? Or did he say if they can’t figure something out before free agency starts?
Did he say that? Or did he say if they (the Nets) couldn't fix the problem before the free agency market started?
He’s a clipper
He's a Clippers player
He grew up a Kobe fan there’s about a 0 percent chance he chooses the other team in la over the lakers
He's been a Kobe Bryant fan since he was a kid, and the odds of him (if) choosing to go to another team in Los Angeles instead of the Lakers are zero
Harden wanted out because of Kyrie and now he’s like yea ok James I’d come to Philly
Harden wanted to leave because of Kyrie (Irving), and now he thinks yes, James (Harden), I'm coming to Philadelphia
Kyrie may be a good fit for the current knicks squad. We def need a PG and we could clear cap space for him pretty easily.
Irving may be a good fit for the Knicks right now. We do need a point guard and we can easily make room for him.
don’t trade him to the lakers
Don't trade him to the Lakers
The lakers need to trade lebron for kyrie
The Lakers need to trade LeBron (James) for Kyrie (Irving)
For entertainment purposes, I want to see Kyrie and Jimmy Butler together
For entertainment purposes, I'd like to see Kyrie (Irving) playing with Jimmy Butler
None of these teams want him. They want to put resources on a more reliable player who actually shows up when they need them most. Irving didn’t even consult those teams Mgmt if they want him…
None of these teams want him. They want to put resources on a more reliable player who can come forward when they need it most. Irving is not even qualified to consult with the management of teams that want him
He's gonna be awesome next season for the Shanghai Sharks.
Shockingly, he will play for the Shanghai Sharks next season
Kyrie doesn’t deserve to play with Luka.
Irving doesn't deserve to play with Luca (Doncic).
Why would the nets help any eastern team. I reckon he goes to LA
Why the Nets will help Eastern Conference teams. I reckon he (Owen) went to Los Angeles (the Lakers).
I like Kyrie but he has hurt the Celtics and the Nets. The teams have to be the priority because they are paying good money for him to play. Hopefully if he goes somewhere else he will go with a different mindset and a determination to playball.
I like Irving, but he hurt the Celtics and the Nets. The team has to be a priority because they (the team) pay a lot for him (Irving) to play. Hopefully, if he goes to another team, he will play with a different mentality and determination.
harden would leave once kyrie gets there lmao
Once Kyrie (Owen) gets to (Philadelphia) Harden will leave, haha
Man I know Miami needs offense but do we really want this guy?
Dude, I know Miami (heat) need offense (players who are good at scoring offense), but do we really want this guy?
Irving continues to be a distraction. Nets made mistake for not trading him earlier. What a mess
Irving was still a distraction, and the Nets made a mistake and didn't trade him sooner. What a mess
Written in the end: There are many rumors about Irving, the possibility of staying with the Nets is still there, but the possibility of leaving the team will be greater, and I only hope that he can still go all out next season, less dramatic, and more focused on the field!
