Seasons come and go, but Kyrie Irving‘s drama never does. The team’s summer has arrived sooner than intended, and both the point guard and Brooklyn Nets must now make important choices.
Three weeks after the Nets’ humiliation at the hands of the Boston Celtics, Kyrie Irving made it clear that he “doesn’t intend on moving anywhere.”
Even though the veteran wants to stay in Brooklyn alongside Kevin Durant for the long haul, his contract is set to expire. According to the team’s general manager Sean Marks, discussions about a possible extension have not yet taken place.
No talks between Nets and Irving yet
“We have not had a conversation yet. So I look forward to getting in a room with him and Joe and his team, and we will. We’ll see what it looks like for Kyrie moving forward here, and what he needs from us and so forth.
So, again, it wouldn’t be right for me to comment on what hypothetical could happen, because we don’t know. We haven’t had those conversations with Kyrie yet. But when they do, we’ll see if it’s the right fit for both sides.
We want to avoid the drama, we want to avoid the distractions. These last couple years here, whether it was expectation set on the team or some of the outside circumstances that were going on in the world, they affected our guys — both individually and as a group — really poorly, unfortunately.”
