Rob Parker reacts to Kyrie Irving choosing his “only option”

Prior the Kyrie Irving finalizing the one-year deal, there were several teams that were rumored to have shown interest in acquiring. The Los Angeles Lakers was the top team that made an effort to sign him. They offered Brooklyn a sign-and-trade package involving Russell Westbrook, but the Nets shown no interest. If the former champ chose to sign with the Lakers, he would have had to settle for $6 million for the year.

Rob Parker reacted to the signing saying, “Like he had that many options. This is the only thing that could’ve happened. It’s good to wipe the egg off your face and act like this is what you’ve decided. You had no choice! Nobody else was gonna catch him. Nobody else was gonna do anything.” Kyrie would have had to forfeit a large sum of money if he opted out and move away from his home town as well as his family.
