After the breaking news about Kevin Durant's request to be traded from the Nets, every player on the Brooklyn roster will be available for trade discussion, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Massey adds that if Mavericks lose Jalen Brunson, the pursuit of Irving will be very aggressive.

Irving has exercised his $36.5 million player option for the 2022-23 season, despite numerous rumours about a possibility of opting out and leaving the Nets as a free agent.

The seven-time NBA All-Star this season has averaged 27.4 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game.
