For the second time in two years, the Brooklyn Nets had a headache finding a place for their superstar. If last year James Harden wanted to leave the team, this year it is Kyrie Irving's turn.

By appointment again, Kyrie Irving once again made the NBA wave with his difficult moves. In an unexpected turn of events, Kyrie asked to be traded to another team.

The proposal was sent by Irving and his representative to the Brooklyn Nets leadership at dawn this morning, February 4, Vietnam time. This information was confirmed by many reputable journalists, including The Athletic's Shams Charania and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

In addition to the exchange request, here's what you need to know about Kyrie Irving's new and unexpected move:

_ Kyrie Irving wishes to leave the team right before the closing date of the exchange transfer market - Trade Deadline, specifically February 10, Vietnam time. If not, he will definitely leave after his contract expires in July.

Before asking to leave, Irving accepted an offer to extend his contract from the Brooklyn Nets. However, the 1992 defender refused to renew.

_ Reporter Shams further noted that Kyrie Irving's side was surprised and very dissatisfied with what Brooklyn proposed. Shams' secret source said that the difference between the two sides is too great.

_ There are currently three teams that have a high probability of becoming Kyrie Irving's new destination: Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks.

In January, Kyrie Irving was selected to the NBA All-Star 2023 starting lineup, averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game. Impressive statistics are so, but this season is a turbulent time for Kyrie.

He was banned from playing in November after getting caught up in a drama off the football field, openly supporting an anti-Semitic documentary. After Irving returned to the game, things calmed down a bit, but Kevin Durant got injured, putting Kyrie in a position to carry the whole team.

In the last 11 games (without Kevin Durant), the Brooklyn Nets have lost 7 of the 11 games, falling from the top of the East to fourth place.

Kyrie Irving's trade request is the next challenge that the Brooklyn Nets leadership must overcome. Will they continue to try to convince Kyrie to stay or use this opportunity to avoid losing Irving in the summer? Time will answer this question.
