Kyrie Irving is one of the biggest stars of the NBA. His ball-handling and scoring ability are second to none. This skill set of his has made him one of the most lethal offensive players in the league. In fact, it was using these skills that he hit one of the biggest shots for the Cavs that helped them win the 2016 NBA championship.

Fast forward to the 2020-21 season, and Kyrie found himself on the Brooklyn Nets alongside Kevin Durant and James Harden. Although the trio did not attain championship success that year, there was still hope in the 2021-22 season until Kevin Durant’s injury and Irving’s away game availability. Moreover, Harden would also be traded to the 76ers for Ben Simmons. However, there seems to be a ray of hope for Brooklyn fans this season, especially for Kyrie, due to a massive update for the city of New York.

This update indicates the possibility of Kyrie returning on a full-time basis for the Nets. Moreover, fans are also excited to see KD and Simmons play for the Nets as well. This has left them ecstatic and hopeful for a Nets title this season.

Fans React to Possible Kyrie Irving Return

In light of the new update, many fans were hopeful about the Brooklyn Nets. They believed that the franchise could win it all this season with KD, Simmons, and a full-time Kyrie.

Furthermore, many fans hilariously trolled James Harden for wanting out of Brooklyn. They claimed that Harden would be angry in light of the new update.

Clearly, it seems like the belief is restored in the Nets. If Kyrie were to return full time alongside KD and Simmons, the Nets’ ceiling is that of a championship.

An Insight into the newly renewed Nets

The massive trade deadline deal saw the Nets parting ways with Harden and Paul Millsap. However, they got more assets in return. The franchise received Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two draft picks. It’s clear that the Nets got size, defense, playmaking, and shooting through this trade.

The best part is that Simmons is a multi-talented player who can defend, rebound, and playmake. He fits in perfectly alongside KD and Kyrie as the third star of the trio. This is especially true since Kyrie and KD are going to be the primary scorers for the Nets. If healthy, the franchise can possibly win the title this year.
