It is unclear exactly what about the Clippers has Irving reportedly interested.
After all, the Clippers are in the midst of an eventful offseason that has already included the trade of former franchise point guard Chris Paul and the addition of several new players.
Still, the latest rumblings are hinting that Irving is interested, but even so, is a deal actually going to happen?
The answer at this point seems like it will be a "no."
It is important to remember here that the Cavaliers' higher-ups will still be the ones to trade Irving, and they will be seeking the best offer in exchange for their dynamic playmaker.
The Clippers may have some nice veteran pieces but in terms of future assets, they are sorely lacking, meaning there are many teams that can easily trump their best offer.
Irving may be interested in the Clippers and the team may want him in the fold too, but at this point, the members of the Cavaliers' front office still have the final say, making that aforementioned union unlikely to become a reality.
More news about Kyrie Irving and the latest NBA trade rumors should be made available in the near future.
