Preview and the history of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving coming to the Nets (00:33 - 04:55)

Kyrie gives the Nets management 6 teams he would like to getting traded to if they can't give him an extension (04:56 - 12:20)

Nets not interested in giving Kyrie the max deal (12:21 - 13:27)

Outside of the Lakers, there's no interest from other teams in a sign and trade deal;  could decline his opt-in and sign with the Lakers on a $6M midlevel exemption (13:28 - 14:52)

Kyrie decides to opt in on his player option; gives a cryptic statement about opting in while not informing Nets management (14:53 - 16:44)

It is rumored that it will be hard to imagine a scenario where KD is traded and Kyrie remain in Brooklyn despite him opting in; if KD & Kyrie are traded, it would be to the Lakers in a Anthony Davis/Russell Westbrook deal (25:29 - 26:30)

Nets resign both Patty Mills and Nic Claxton (26:31 - 27:02)
