New York Times  

If you took the name away and posted Kyrie Irving’s resume’ on the proverbial NBA job board, there’s not a general manager alive who wouldn’t come running. Yet in the wake of Irving’s recent suspension from the Brooklyn Nets for refusing to “unequivocally say he has no antisemetic views,” and after all these years in which he missed more Nets games than he played because of injuries, his vaccination stance and “personal reasons,” most of the 11 team executives who spoke with The Athletic on the subject made this much clear: If given the opportunity to trade for him this season or sign him if the Nets waived him or when he becomes a free agent this summer, they’ll be running the other way. “It’s gonna be one-year deals from here on out,” a front office executive said. You just can’t trust that he’s gonna do the right thing.” Front office executive No. But I do think there’s one or two teams that would take him, or maybe even a couple more.” The Durant Dilemma Front office executive No.
