The recent Kyrie Irving trade news triggered various reactions from fans and NBA stars. Even Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson joined the bandwagon to express his opinion on the Irving trade saga. Moreover, the Brooklyn Nets could be in double trouble as Kevin Durant is yet to make a return to the hardwood, and some fans resorted to a 4x NBA champion to save KD from misery. 

Since the news surfaced on the internet, reports suggested that the guard might join the Dallas Mavericks or the Lakers. However, the recent developments in the saga revealed that ‘Uncle Drew’ has reportedly joined the Mavericks, officially marking the end of the Kyrie Irving-Kevin Durant era with the Nets. Notably, Durant donned the Golden State Warriors jersey before his stint with the Nets. Now fans expect Steven Curry‘s teammate to rescue KD.

Will a 4x NBA Champion try to recruit Kevin Durant?

Bleacher Report shared a picture of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant on Twitter along with a task for the fans. The tweet read, “Describe the KD-Kyrie era in one word.”

Interestingly, 4x NBA champion Andre Iguodala sent out a reply to the tweet. The Dubs star said, “Infiltrated”, clearly indicating his attack on the recent trade updates. Following his reply, fans begged the star to call KD back to Dubnation.

Following are some reactions from NBA Twitter:

Kevin Durant, who won two NBA titles with the Warriors, hasn’t made his return to the hardwood since January 8 due to an MCL sprain. Moreover, the Nets management hasn’t provided any official update on the 13-time All-Star’s return. 

Injury worries for the Nets and the Warriors

The Nets are currently the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-20 record. The Brooklyn side might struggle to stay afloat on the points table in the absence of their iconic duo. However, fans speculate that KD could return before the All-Star game. Meanwhile, Curry fell prey to yet another injury in a game against the Dallas Mavericks. Recent reports suggested that Curry could miss several weeks.
