Report: LA Clippers Have Made ‘Strong’ Trade Offer for Kyrie Irving

The LA Clippers are reportedly in on a Kyrie Irving trade with the Brooklyn Nets

After not being initially listed as a team in the hunt for Kyrie Irving, the LA Clippers have now emerged as one of the teams in pursuit of the All-Star point guard. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowksi, and an additional report was made by The Athletic’s Law Murray that revealed the Clippers have already made a “strong offer” to the Brooklyn Nets for Irving.

“The LA Clippers have joined the pursuit of Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, sources told ESPN on Saturday,” Wojnarowski wrote. “The Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns — among others — have been engaging with the Nets since Irving’s trade demand on Friday, sources said. And now the Clippers — who’ve been in the trade market for a point guard — are probing a possible deal too, sources said.”

The Athletic’s Law Murray followed this report with a Tweet that read, “Sources tell @TheAthletic that the LA Clippers have made a strong offer to the Brooklyn Nets for Kyrie Irving, and that head coach Tyronn Lue is open to coaching Irving again after the two won a championship with Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.”

Wojnarowski added that the Nets are determined to deal Irving before the deadline, and that the Clippers are indeed probing a deal. A trade for Irving would give the Clippers a third star next to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
