Nets guard Kyrie Irving is an unrestricted free agent this summer, but said during shootaround on Saturday morning that he intends to re-sign with Brooklyn this summer.
Irving wants to build a legacy in Brooklyn, and wants to do so with close friend and fellow star Kevin Durant.
“There’s no way I’m leaving my man seven anywhere,” Irving said on Saturday.
We’ve seen this story before with Irving, who told fans after his first season with Boston in 2017 that he planned to re-sign with the Celtics following the conclusion of the 2018–19 season.
