Kyrie Irving Articles - Page 57

By now we’re still scrambling to unpack what the heck happened to the “scary hours” dream. James Harden was brought into the Nets’ camp to be the final superstar-caliber complementary piece to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. But instead, by the time we learned Harden wasn’t very happy, the trade winds had accumulated into a […]

The Brooklyn Nets were at the center of the biggest shakeup during the NBA’s trade deadline as they shipped out James Harden for a package centered around Ben Simmons. While the on-court product could very well get better, one fan took a shot at Nets stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for issues off the […]

The blockbuster trade was made official during the Brooklyn Nets’ 1oth consecutive loss on Thursday, just a few hours after the 2022 NBA trade deadline passed. James Harden and Paul Millsap are now Sixers, while Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond are Nets. Brooklyn also gets a couple valuable draft picks to work with […]

The Brooklyn Nets shook up the league by trading James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for a package centered around Ben Simmons in a blockbuster move. Part of the reason for the trade was Harden’s growing discomfort with the club. Part of Harden’s desire to leave stemmed from Kyrie Irving’s status as a […]

The Brooklyn Nets retooled their roster at a time they needed it the most, trading away disgruntled veterans James Harden and Paul Millsap to bring in Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond. The biggest move of the 2022 NBA trade deadline could pay off very well for the Nets in the long term. Simmons, […]

The Brooklyn Nets have now dropped their 10th consecutive game but never before does a massive losing streak feels like such an afterthought. James Harden is on the move, heading to the Philadelphia 76ers, where he apparently wanted to be for some time now. Most of the reports hinted that the 10-time All-Star had a […]

It’s not every day your favorite team engages in an absolute blockbuster trade. Fans spend a lot of time concocting them on trade machines but so rarely do they actually go down. Thursday’s NBA Trade deadline was not one of those days. This time, we really got one. The Brooklyn Nets traded James Harden and […]

At long last, the Ben Simmons saga is over. Or is it? Insert foreboding music here. But alas, the two-way guard has finally found a new home with the Brooklyn Nets after being traded for James Harden in a blockbuster deal on Thursday. Simmons definitely needs a change of scenery after his acrimonious stint with […]

The NBA trade deadline came and passed on Thursday and there was one deal that towered above all others. That trade was the swap of Ben Simmons for James Harden that has the Philadelphia 76ers pairing The Beard with Joel Embiid as they search for their first championship since the days of disco. The trade’s other […]

The Brooklyn Nets shocked the NBA world when they traded superstar guard James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers in a blockbuster trade that included Ben Simmons, among others. Harden was clearly beginning to get frustrated with the way things were going in Brooklyn, though he might not have been the only one. Joe Vardon of […]

As expected, Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson has come out with his in-depth analysis of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. Also unsurprisingly, the Hall of Famer took notice of the biggest transaction of the day involving the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately for Nets fans, Johnson’s immediate reaction isn’t going to sit well […]

The blockbuster trade that felt at times like pure absurdity, fan fiction, or trade machine overload has actually happened. The Brooklyn Nets are trading 2018 MVP James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for a package centered around disgruntled 25-year-old star Ben Simmons. After the Nets parted with Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert, and a near decade’s […]

With the NBA Trade deadline just under 48 hours away, everyone is waiting with bated breath on any update. While the Brooklyn Nets will look to snap an eight-game losing streak–without any of their Big 3 of Kevin Durant (knee), Kyrie Irving (not vaccinated) or James Harden (hamstring tightness)–we got another update from the team’s […]

Just when you were waiting for more big trade news, we got an even more massive Brooklyn Nets update on the New York vaccine mandate front. By now you know the deal: Kyrie Irving is just a part-time player. He’s only eligible for another 10 home games the rest of the season. Between that harsh reality […]

We’re just a couple days away from February 10 and trade season is in full frenzy. Can you imagine how stressful things are for Brooklyn Nets GM Sean Marks right now? Your best player Kevin Durant is out for another few weeks with a knee sprain. Your second best player James Harden is out with […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has been a polarizing figure for a long time now, he’s certainly no stranger to being the focus of media attention. There are lots of setbacks which have prevented the Nets Big 3 dream of Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden from all taking the floor at the same time. […]

The Brooklyn Nets are now on an eight-game losing streak and to make things worse, they are not only injured but also mired in controversy. Between Kevin Durant’s sprained MCL, James Harden’s most recent hamstring injury that needed an MRI, and some fever-pitch trade rumors, the Big 3 “scary hours” dream feels almost far-fetched right […]

The Brooklyn Nets, who are now the Eastern Conference’s seventh seed with a 29-24 record, have not played the type of basketball that they expected this season. Kevin Durant’s injury, James Harden’s injury, and Kyrie Irving’s continuing unwillingness to get the vaccine, which means he can only play away games, are all contributing to the […]

The Brooklyn Nets suffered one of their worst losses of the season on Friday night as the Utah Jazz blew them out, 125-102. Kyrie Irving was the lone superstar available for the Nets with both Kevin Durant and James Harden dealing with respective injuries, and true enough, the Jazz made easy work of a shorthanded […]

James Harden himself has already denied reports about how he’s unhappy with his current situation with the Brooklyn Nets. However, as most suspect, there’s much more to this issue than what’s on the surface. Despite Harden’s denial, the narrative just won’t go away. The same can be said about rumors pertaining to a possible move […]

The Brooklyn Nets are playing some of the worst basketball in the league right now. Even with Kevin Durant sidelined with injury, a team with James Harden and a part-time Kyrie Irving shouldn’t be rolling over the way it has of late. It was more of the same for the Nets against the Utah Jazz […]

The Brooklyn Nets are one of the most talked about teams right now. And the biggest focus is whether or not GM Sean Marks may spend his weekend chatting with Sixers President Daryl Morey about a James Harden for Ben Simmons blockbuster trade. It might devastate many Nets fans to see that happen but there […]

The Brooklyn Nets find themselves the center of trade rumors with six days to go before the deadline. While it was Kyrie Irving who occupied headlines for most of the season over his vaccination status, lately it has been James Harden who has been under the microscope. Many analysts think Harden is the next disgruntled […]

The Brooklyn Nets are on a six-game losing streak and that apparently has winds of change blowing. Would GM Sean Marks make a big shakeup to help support Kevin Durant for the team’s playoff run? With just six days to go before the NBA trade deadline, we got a bombshell news update from Shams Charania […]

The Nets have hit a six-game skid and just yesterday we were wondering if they’d dare to consider trading James Harden at this deadline. The most logical landing spot would be the Philadelphia 76ers, as Sixers president Daryl Morey seems to only have eyes for Harden. What he is offering is perhaps a blockbuster package […]

There has been a lot of trade speculation growing between the Brooklyn Nets’ James Harden and Philadelphia 76ers’ Ben Simmons. It’s been wildly reported that the Sixers hope to move Simmons, but Harden being dealt would shake up the Eastern Conference. The Nets have reportedly become increasingly concerned with Harden and his ability to fit […]

These days the Brooklyn Nets are in a bit of a funk. Three games out of first place at 29-22 amid a six-game losing streak, Brooklyn has reached a new low point of the short-lived Big Three era. There are plenty of people taking jabs (pun intended) at Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving and […]

The Brooklyn Nets find themselves at a low point of the Big Three era. Losers of six games in a row, the Nets’ dream of a superstar trio blitzing through the league still exists. It just gets harder and harder to picture when it always seems like something else pops up to thwart Kevin Durant, […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had a tough week. Kevin Durant isn’t healthy enough to suit up yet as he continues to rehab from the sprained MCL he sustained last month. With Durant out, the Nets have hit a brutal six-game losing streak that has James Harden hinting at possible “internal” issues. With Kyrie Irving only […]

There has been plenty of drama surrounding Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving in recent years across multiple teams, ranging from his flat Earth comments to questions about his leadership to his COVID-19 vaccination status and more. In addition to that negative stuff, Irving has also made a concerted effort to take stands on social justice […]

The Kevin Durant-less Brooklyn Nets lost their sixth game in a row on Wednesday night to a very poor Sacramento Kings team, who were missing their best player in De’Aaron Fox. While Steve Nash’s squad undoubtedly realizes they need to be better, Kyrie Irving had a rather bizarre excuse for the disappointing loss. Via Kristian […]

James Harden has been in the news a lot lately. The combination of some off the court distractions, plus a long road trip, playing the second night of a back-to-back set with a strained hand, appear to have all culminated in one rough road loss to a bad team. The Brooklyn Nets lost their sixth […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue their free fall in the standings. They’ve now lost six consecutive games and sit at 29-22. But this one, a 112-101 loss to Tyrese Haliburton and the Sacramento Kings, is up there with their worst L’s of the season. Brooklyn drops now to 6th place in the East, 1.5 games out […]

The Brooklyn Nets are led by a coach who has a historic resume. Steve Nash was a two time NBA MVP in both 2005 and 2006 and he was runner up to a former teammate of his Dirk Nowitzki for what would have been a third consecutive MVP award. It’s fitting then he’s presiding over […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had one heck of a ride. They first signed Kevin Durant back in 2019 knowing that the two-time NBA Finals MVP would miss a full season after under going major surgery on his Achilles. They knew that was worth a bit of patience. But upon trading the farm for James Harden […]

Finding credible trade rumors around the Brooklyn Nets these days is like mining for diamonds. GM Sean Marks comes from the Gregg Popovich Spurs tree, as he keeps things under wraps. There simply aren’t many leaks coming out of Brooklyn. However, we can look at what the Nets need and then try to guess what […]

On Saturday night, the Brooklyn Nets went up against the Golden State Warriors as it was a battle between two of the top teams in the NBA. Golden State was able to win by a slim margin of 110-106. Despite the loss, the Nets must be pleased with their performance, especially given they did not […]

The Brooklyn Nets went to San Francisco to try to take down the league’s second best team, the Golden State Warriors, on Saturday. Stephen Curry dropped 37 points when he visited Barclay Center back in November in a big Dubs win. This time Kyrie Irving was in the lineup, although he didn’t have Kevin Durant […]

The Brooklyn Nets fought hard, but ultimately fell short. Coming into a big game against Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors, Kyrie Irving was the lone member of the Big 3 available for Steve Nash Saturday. Kevin Durant continues to rehab his sprained MCL in his knee, and James Harden was a […]
