NBA Rumors: 3 Players that the Brooklyn Nets are currently targeting

#2 Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving is set to leave the Boston Celtics this summer

Kyrie Irving was initially expected to commit his peak years to the Boston Celtics, however, his commitment to the organisation was called into question as the season progressed, and it now appears extremely unlikely that he will remain in Boston.

Due to his apparent availability, Irving is believed to be among the Nets' top targets, and Stefan Bondy of New York Daily News is reporting that the All-Star would consider a move to Brooklyn:

Some plugged-in to the NBA claim Irving will strongly consider Brooklyn as a free-agent destination, with one source saying the 27-year-old prefers the Nets to the Knicks.

Many sources have reported that Irving will head to the New York Knicks this summer, although his arrival could depend on Kevin Durant also heading to Madison Square Garden. Due to this, the Nets appear to have at least an outside chance of landing one of the summers most in-demand free agents.
