The first happy with Kevin Durant’s decision? Certainly Kyrie Irving. The latter has always wanted to stay in the Big Apple, and knows he will play with the Nets next season. The point guard is rather discreet, but seems very motivated to have a great season in Brooklyn according to sources. Be careful not to minimize its contribution.
Collateral victim of the Kevin Durant soap opera, Kyrie Irving ultimately won’t leave the Nets. He has often been quoted to join the Lakers and thus find LeBron James, his former teammate in Cleveland, but the discussions have never been successful. The reason is simple: Brooklyn hoped to keep KD all this time, and therefore did not want to let Uncle Drew slip away. In the end, their plan worked perfectly.
Big season ahead for Kyrie Irving?
The Nets will return in a few weeks with Durant, Irving and finally Ben Simmons, to try to win a title. It won’t be easy, especially after a summer full of rumors, but the players want to get the best of the Celtics, the Heat or the Sixers. A great competition is coming up, for which Kyrie is preparing, and not just according to the latest rumors from the corridors.
Nets PG Kyrie Irving has been in the gym, focusing on weight training and core fitness this off-season.
Those close to the PG tell @BallySports Irving’s focused on having an MVP caliber season literally. “He’s more than just a dribbling sensation.” https://t.co/vc3VCoUPyG pic.twitter.com/k0751xSdPN

Kyrie Irving has been spending time in the gym, working on strength training and improving his core during the offseason. Relatives have explained that Irving wants to achieve a season worthy of an MVP.
It will be necessary to assume for Irving, but it is interesting to see that the point guard does not spare himself during the summer. He hopes to have a great season, injury-free, but above all without problems off the court. A relief for the Nets, who expect action from the leader.
However, it may be for one season only. We almost forget that the leader will be a free agent next year, but his future is still very undecided. According to sources, the former Cavalier is ready to stay in the Big Apple, however, it will require certain safeguards:
Relatives have indicated that Kyrie Irving really wants to stay with the Nets his entire career, but it must make sense to him. He activated his player option, but there is disagreement with the Nets regarding the next step.
Kyrie Irving is fired up to have a great season with the Nets, but what next? It gets complicated with his free agent status. Everything will depend on his exercise and performance. Injuries, behavioral issues, and we imagine Brooklyn will let him go. We will have to take stock after this new campaign.
