Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Kevin Durant signed as a Net until he’s 38. Kyrie Irving would be signed til he’s 35 with the extension.
Wild thinking that KD and Kyrie will likely retire as Brooklyn Nets. – 2:03 PM

Kyrie Irving said he’s been pinching himself since Wednesday & Thursday, because there was a n earlier time where he got his hopes really high and “all the air was just let out.” He’s trying to focus on the #Heat tonight but excited for tomorrow vs. the #Hornets. #Nets12:11 PM
Barbara Barker @meanbarb
So KD has already signed long term deal with Nets and it sounds like Kyrie plans to do same this summer. “Its always been about being comfortable where im at and i love it here…..We’re gonna have some conversations but theres no way i could leave my man seven anywhere.” pic.twitter.com/mcQJfzYtOV12:01 PM

Mike Lupica, from the other tabloid in town, hit the grand-slam home run today with his Kyrie Irving column: “Before Adams’ flip flop, Kyrie was in the process of stubbornly and selfishly and even arrogantly ruining his team’s shot at a title.” – 11:59 AM

Sounds like Kyrie is staying in Brooklyn for the long haul. “There’s no way I’m leaving my man seven anywhere” he says at shoot around. pic.twitter.com/TkRurd2FRr11:30 AM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Kyrie Irving said he’s very happy for his fellow St. Patrick alum Shaheen Holloway. Sha recruited him in high school and Irving said he’s enjoyed seeing NJ’s basketball culture get it’s due. So who does Irving root for in a potential Duke-St. Peter’s Final Four? “I can’t lose.” – 11:29 AM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Kyrie Irving indicates he’ll be re-signing with the Nets in the summer:
“There’s no way I’m leaving my man #7 anywhere.”
Kevin Durant (#7) recently signed a long term extension with the Nets. – 11:28 AM
