Shaq says that if Kyrie Irving doesn’t get vaccinated, the Nets should trade him.
He continued, “Because now, everyday, I’m going to have to answer questions about him, and what he’s doing. Get his a** up out of here. That’s what I would do.”
Strong words from someone who knows what it takes to win championships. Something that Brooklyn yearns for, after going out last year and acquiring 9x All Star and 2018 MVP James Harden from the Houston Rockets, to join Irving and fellow superstar Kevin Durant.
Shaq was then asked if he believed his scenario of getting Irving out of town would actually happen, and he responded, “I don’t know. But you asked me if I was on the team. Of course if I played with him, I’d be in charge. All the way, all day. So, whoever owns the Brooklyn Nets, get him up out of here.”
Irving has had issues with availability throughout his career, and with new COVID-19 regulations and protocols being implemented, Shaq didn’t leave much room for interpretation for Nets’ owner, Joe Tsai.
