When the 2021-2022 NBA season began, no one predicted the Celtics would sweep the Nets in the opening round of the playoffs, James Harden’s departure to the 76ers and Kyrie Irving going from a part-time to full-time status with the franchise.
This was Brooklyn’s reality, and now Nets general manager Sean Marks signaled to reporters on Wednesday that the Nets are non-commital on re-signing the seven-time All-Star, saying it has been an ongoing discussion.
“We'll continue to debrief on and discuss throughout this offseason,” Marks said per New York Post’s Brian Lewis.
When Kevin Durant and Irving joined the Nets in the summer of 2019, it appeared that the stage was set for Brooklyn to compete for NBA championships.
