It started with Kyrie Irving sitting out. Irving sat out the majority of the season due to his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Brooklyn had a COVID vaccine mandate, which made it impossible for him to play. The rapper Bossie stated that members of the Nets team were itching to call out Irving, but didn't want to say anything to his face. Although the former NBA champion could play during road games, the organization was initially not interested in having him as a part-time player. Irving's unavailability caused a lot of imbalance on the team. It didn't allow fans to see the Big 3 of Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden at full strength. On "VLAD TV," Boosie was asked what he thought happened to the Nets. He said: "When your main person on that team, mostly your main people are disorientated on that basketball floor, it tears everything 'cause everybody running to y'all. Kyrie is a man. He has the right to not play, but him not playing f**ked that team up. "In basketball, how they think on that court, they cry after you lose. So, when you cry you're hurt. So, basketball is their life, like it's their life, it's everything to them. "So, most people look at it on that team they probably won't say it to Kyrie, but most people look at it on the team like, 'N***a, you scared to catch a cold, n***a? 'That's how they look at it. They don't give a f**k about the vaccine like we are one when you're a basketball, that's like your family." The Brooklyn Nets could lose their two superstars this offseason : Kevin Durant #7 and Kyrie Irving #11 of the Brooklyn Nets A year after creating a Big 3 of James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, which many believed was the most lethal offensive trio in the league, the Brooklyn Nets might go into the new season without any of them. Harden was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. In return, the Nets got a disgruntled Ben Simmons, who did not play a single game last season. The Athletic NBA@TheAthleticNBAThe Nets are incredibly high on Ben Simmons’ return to play following his recovery from back surgery in May, @ShamsCharania writes.More intel: theathletic.com/3485297/?sourc…7219The Nets are incredibly high on Ben Simmons’ return to play following his recovery from back surgery in May, @ShamsCharania writes.More intel: theathletic.com/3485297/?sourc… https://t.co/U3wiADJowX Irving and Durant might not start the new season with the Brooklyn Nets, as they have been pushing for an exit. The All-Star guard could not agree on terms for an extension with the Nets and was exploring sign-and-trade options. Even though he opted into his player option for next season, we might have seen the last of Irving as a Net. The Lakers have expressed their interest in signing Irving and are reportedly willing to include whatever is needed to seal the deal. Basketball Forever@BballforeverfbThe Lakers are expected to step up their pursuit of Kyrie Irving by finally offering the maximum number of first-round picks.(via @jovanbuha)7107663The Lakers are expected to step up their pursuit of Kyrie Irving by finally offering the maximum number of first-round picks.(via @jovanbuha) https://t.co/sOJe8HMaoO Durant requested a trade before the start of free agency. He has given Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai an ultimatum. He wants Tsai to get rid of general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash. With Tsai backing his front office and coaching staff, Durant's departure is almost guaranteed. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Windy Goodloe × Feedback Thank You!
