Kyrie Irving is one of the best scorers in the league when fully healthy, and there’s no doubt that he has been crucial for the Brooklyn Nets this year, especially during Kevin Durant’s absence. As of right now, Kyrie Irving is putting up 26.7 PPG, 5.1 RPG, and 5.0 APG.
There has been a lot of speculation about where Kyrie Irving will play after this season, as he will be a free agent this upcoming summer. Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report has recently shared the words of Kyrie Irving’s agent Shatellia Irving, who claimed that he wants an extension with the Brooklyn Nets.
“I have reached out to the Nets regarding this. We have had no significant conversations to date. The desire is to make Brooklyn home, with the right type of extension, which means the ball is in the Nets’ court to communicate now if their desire is the same.”
It remains to be seen if the Brooklyn Nets do end up signing Kyrie Irving to an extension. It would be foolish for them to let him go for nothing with him playing at a high level, and perhaps we’ll see some traction on a contract extension later on this season.
Kyrie Irving Has Frequently Been Linked To The Los Angeles Lakers
If the Brooklyn Nets do not re-sign Kyrie Irving, then there will likely be some teams who will seek to add him in free agency. Earlier in the season, NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith claimed that Kyrie Irving wanted to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
Kyrie’s not re-signing with Brooklyn. Kyrie’s planning to go to Los Angeles. He’s trying to go to Los Angeles. That’s what he wanted to do during the summer, that’s what he’s trying to do now.
Things have clearly changed from then to now, and it is clear that Kyrie Irving’s priority is now to stay with the Brooklyn Nets. He’s definitely in a good situation with the franchise, and they will have a legitimate chance of winning a championship this year and going forward if their team mostly stays the same.
We will see what ends up happening with Kyrie Irving in the future. He has shown that he can be close to superstar-level when healthy, and we’ll see which team ends up giving him a long-term contract, whether it happens during the season with the Nets or elsewhere in free agency.
