The latest reports indicate that Kyrie is running out of options. The Nets reached out to the Dallas Mavericks for a potential trade, but the Mavs showed ‘very little interest’. It is not surprising to see Dallas’ stance on this, as they have built a strong culture with hard work and dedication at the forefront of it all.

While the Nets expected to win a championship with the core of Irving and Durant, their star point guard appearing in only 47% of their games surely would’ve been disappointing. The Nets’ front office will be hoping to put an end to all the drama as soon as possible.
