“It’s Over”: Fans Smell Doom for Kevin Durant’s Nets After Peculiar Pattern Shows Kyrie Irving Following James Harden’s Path

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving shook the NBA world with his recent trade request. According to reports, the Nets point guard failed to land a new contract extension with the team and could now don either a Dallas Mavericks or Los Angeles Lakers jersey ahead of the trade deadline. However, disappointed Nets fans spotted a similar pattern from the blockbuster James Harden trade last season. They took to Twitter to express their opinions. 

Just like the Kyrie Irving trade news, James Harden stole the headlines ahead of the 2022 trade deadline. Harden similarly shook the NBA world when the Nets traded the Philadelphia 76ers’ Ben Simmons for ‘The Beard’. Many fans felt that the Nets would face their downfall after the departure of Harden and Irving.
