As the 2022 NBA Finals got over last week, we entered the 2022 NBA offseason. What a start we have got right now for the offseason. According to reports, Brooklyn Nets superstar, Kyrie Irving, and the Brooklyn Nets front office are far apart on Kyrie’s contract extension. Kyrie is looking for a max contract about which the Nets are hesitant. Reports indicate Kyrie will become a free agent if he doesn’t get the max contract from the Nets.
Kyrie and Kevin Durant joined the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2019. They had planned on playing together and Brooklyn was the destination, according to them, where they could win. Kevin Durant last year signed his max contract extension with the Nets. With reports of Kyrie leaving Kevin Durant alone in Brooklyn, one particular NBA analyst is not happy with him.

ESPN Analyst Stephen A. Smith was not happy with Kyrie’s current situation. He said, “The same guy that left LeBron James, the same guy that left Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.. the same guy that is literally on the verge of leaving Kevin Durant. He is basically saying to the NBA world, oh I can be trusted.”
“Really? I mean, talk about three strikes and you are lucky this is basketball instead of baseball or your as* would have struck out already. This is some of the nonsensical nonsense I have ever seen,” he added.
