Kyrie Irving reportedly ready to discuss contract extension: 'The ball is in the Nets' court'

Kyrie Irving wants to stay in Brooklyn.

The Nets star is apparently ready to discuss a contract extension with the franchise, his agent and stepmom, Shetellia Irving, told Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.

Irving is in the final year of a four-year, $136 million deal with the Nets. He is eligible for a maximum four-year extension worth about $200 million. If that deal isn’t reached, Irving will become a free agent this offseason.

Shetellia has reached out to the Nets about starting these talks but said she hasn’t heard anything back yet.
