So you're saying he's going to have to play in China next year?
He's going to get at least a 1-year MAX offer from someone, even in (his) worst case scenario. If Brooklyn gives the best offer, he'll take it. You can take that to the bank. If they don't, and they're willing to help him get to a team without room who might've talked themselves into making a better offer (3 years?) then I bet they'll get THEN a better value for that trade than what you're expecting them to swallow NOW, at the deadline, and they'll have had the benefit of Irving playing down the stretch for a contract, which I assume will be as close to ideal behavior as he can get.
I don't think he gets traded unless the Nets GET value for him. Now "value" is relative, but they're going to GET it, not GIVE it.
