Kyrie Irving set to join Nets in free agency

Kyrie Irving has plans to link up with the Nets this summer

Kyrie Irving is set to leave the Boston Celtics in free agency, and Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald is reporting that the point guard plans to sign with the Brooklyn Nets:

According to a source with ties to Roc Nation, the organization expected to become Irving’s new representative, the All-Star point guard is prepared to sign with the Brooklyn Nets when he becomes a free agent next month.

A separate league source told the Herald that his team [not the Celtics] has received the same information and is operating under the belief that Irving wants to join the Nets.

Irving joined the Celtics from the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2017, although he has been unable to guide the team to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2010. Meanwhile, the Nets have built up an impressive young roster and have the cap space to add two max deals this summer.
