Nets all star, Kyrie Irving, reportedly wants out of Brooklyn before Thursday’s trade deadline. The Nets have actually been playing pretty well lately and are 4th place in the Eastern Conference. But now Kyrie wants out. Irving has not informed the Nets of a list of teams Kyrie would be interested in going to, but there is lots of rumors that the Lakers are the front runners to land Kyrie. The next question would be what does this decision do for Kevin Durant’s future?
