According to the announcements of the American media, a big upheaval is coming in the NBA as Russell Westbrook could go to the Brooklyn Nets for Kyrie Irving!
As stated, the administrations of both clubs are optimistic that an agreement will be reached since both basketball players want to change environments.
Westbrook came under fire from Lakers fans for the team’s dismal performances and results while Irving adjusted to Brooklyn, in large part due to the fact that he was unvaccinated, which kept him out for much of last season.
In addition, Irving would like to play again with LeBron James, with whom he already shared a locker room in the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As Westbrook’s contract is about $10,000,000 higher than Irving’s, it is certain that Brooklyn will have to send at least one more basketball player to Los Angeles.
The Lakers would like Seth Curry, while Brooklyn insists on Joe Harris, which will be a bit of a struggle as to who will go to the “city of angels”. It is interesting that certain picks from subsequent drafts could be included in the whole deal…
It seems that Brooklyn will make a total reconstruction since Kevin Durant also asked to leave, and the most realistic is to strengthen the Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat or Toronto Raptors…
