Amid the constant drama of Kyrie Irving's situation with the Brooklyn Nets, a surprising player's name arises.

Despite the Nets leading the Eastern Conference, thanks to Kevin Durant and James Harden, Irving is yet to see any action on the hardwood this season. Due to his unavailability, trade rumors have been swirling around the NBA regarding a possible trade involving Kyrie. However, Bleacher Report suggests that none of these talks have gained any traction.

Today, discussions of Irving's return this season plague the NBA, which can be a reason why trade rumors have been dormant. However, according to Bleacher Report, a key Nets player's name still comes to mind.

It seems that the Nets have stressed the availability of Joe Harris in trade discussions with other teams.

“It’s crazy to me; he’s their only real three-and-D player,” said one assistant general manager. “But his name (Joe Harris) keeps popping up.”

Another young gun that could be on the move is big man Nic Claxton, who has played well for the Nets but enters restricted free agency this summer.

With the Nets outperforming everyone in the East, many fans wonder if they intend to make massive trades soon. Should the league also show interest in some of these players? More importantly, what kind of players do the Nets need in bolstering their roster against the NBA's best teams.
