Will Kyrie Irving stay or will he go?

NBA Insider Shams Charania has doubled down on Irving’s demand to stay with the Nets in a recent report.

He spoke on the Pat McAfee Show and said, “Kyrie Irving opted in with the full intent of playing out next season as a Brooklyn Net. In his mind, he’s playing next year in Brooklyn with or without Kevin Durant.” It is clear that Irving has no intention of basing his decision on whether or not KD will stay or go and does not appear to change course from his option at all. Brooklyn Nets are still focused on bringing a championship to the franchise. After a first-round sweep in the playoffs against the Celtics, the Nets are looking to come back stronger than ever.

Watch Shams explain below:

Kyrie Irving opted into his $37 million USD player option, which all but confirmed that he hopes to fulfill his four-year contract with the Brooklyn Nets.

But you never know with Kyrie. The wind may blow a certain way and that could be just enough to make him change his mind on sticking things out in Brooklyn.
