Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving has requested a trade from the franchise, according to Shams Charania. Irving would like to be moved at the February 9 trade deadline or he will leave in free agency. The guard pulled the same threat last season during the summer after Kevin Durant's trade request, but ultimately did not sacrifice nearly $30 million and came back to the team on his player option.
