Kyrie Irving reportedly has his eyes set on the Brooklyn Nets' next head coach after the team parted ways with Kenny Atkinson on Saturday.
According to Yahoo Sports' Vincent Goodwill, Irving prefers Clippers assistant and former Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue to replace Atkinson in Brooklyn.
Irving reportedly "soured" on Atkinson early during his time in Brooklyn this season. Nets GM Sean Marks said during a press conference on Saturday that the players were not responsible for Atkinson's departure.
Irving and Lue's paths previously crossed in Cleveland, where the two won a championship in 2016.
