On this week’s episode of The Outlet Forum, Chaez Pearson and Chris Camello discussed topics from what’s happening in the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving saga to the NBA Summer League.
The guys began with discussing everything going on with Kyrie Irving. Reports out there have been all over the place. Camello feels like it’s the Kawhi Leonard saga all over again with all these conflicting reports. He also believes it is all a leverage play. They also talked about Kevin Durant and his situation. Will both players still be on the Brooklyn Nets when the new season starts or will they finally get traded?
Pearson thinks Durant wants to leave to the Phoenix Suns simply to win, and that he wants to be in a good, stable situation.
