#Nets Sean Marks noncommittal discussing long-term extension for Kyrie Irving: “We need people here that want to be here, that are selfless, that want to be part of something bigger than themselves. There’s an objective and there’s a goal at stake here.”

So Kyrie tells us 2 weeks ago, that him. Joe, Sean. and Kevin will decide the direction of the Nets franchise. Sean tells us today that they haven’t committed to re-signing Kyrie long term. If he wants to continue to play near home (or at all), it’s on him to bridge that gap – 2:42 PM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
