Kyrie Irving hopes to ‘manage the franchise’ with Kevin Durant alongside Joe Tsai and Sean Marks

Kyrie Irving says he is here to stay in Brooklyn. And it appears he hopes to have some say in the direction of this Brooklyn franchise.

“I don’t really plan on going anywhere,” said Kyrie after the Nets 116-112 Game 4 loss against the Boston Celtics. “I’m just looking forward to the summer and just building with our guys here.”

Irving is eligible to extend with the Nets for four years, $184 million, or for five years, $248 million this offseason. His $42.7 million annually would make him the seventh highest-paid player in the NBA.
