Kyrie Irving reveals he wants to play in leagues all over the world when he’s 38

Boston Celtics v Brooklyn Nets - Game Four

Kyrie Irving rarely engages with fans online. However, he was compelled to do so recently. This was after one fan claimed Irving was "gassing himself" after he retweeted a post from Eddie Gonzalez. Gonzalez claimed that Kyrie's off-hand was probably the best.

The Brooklyn Nets guard responded to the fan, saying he doesn't need to gas himself. He claimed he just looks back at his career as a 38-year-old.

Many would feel that Irving was talking about retiring by 38. The former NBA champion shut down that discussion before it even started with a follow-up tweet, saying:

"And no I won’t be done playing basketball at 38 years old lol, I’ll be in leagues all over the world playing and teaching the youth all that was taught to me."

Bam Adebayo intends to stay in Miami throughout his career

Boston Celtics v Miami Heat - Game Seven

Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo intends to play for the franchise throughout his entire NBA career. His comments come amid trade rumors linking him to the Nets as part of a potential deal for Miami to land Kevin Durant.

"If I could, I would," Adebayo said via the Miami Herald. "Just to have that opportunity to be around this community for my whole career. A lot of the community has seen me grow up. Going from a random 14th draft pick to being a cornerstone in this organization and to become something bigger. It's just one of those things that's dope when people grow with you."

The Heat are one of the teams that are interested in Kevin Durant. Bam Adebayo appears to be a player they would like in return from the Heat, if they engage in trade discussions.

Adebayo has been instrumental in helping Miami make an NBA Finals and an NBA Conference Finals appearance in two of the last three seasons. Losing him could cost them their defensive depth. This is something they have thrived on during the Butler-Adebayo era.

However, Adebayo being dealt to Brooklyn remains a complicated deal as he is on the same type of contract as Ben Simmons. Unless the Nets move the former Sixers guard, they won't be able to take on Adebayo's contract in exchange for Durant's.
