The extension will put Byrne at the helm of Brooklyn until the 2026-2027 season. The original contract was signed until the upcoming 2023-2024 season, and the condition was confirmed as a team option. However, with this extension, he will lead the team for the next five seasons.

Head coach Byrne began coaching the team in earnest at the beginning of this season as an acting manager. At the beginning of the season, head coach Steve Nash was sacked, and coach Byrne took over as his replacement. After leading the rise of Brooklyn, he was appointed as the official manager. Even before the end of one season as manager, he was reborn as a full-fledged manager with an extended contract.

Coach Byrne maximized the team’s power until Kyrie Irving (Dallas) requested a trade. Kevin Durant (Phoenix) and Irving came out with a one-two punch, and put forward Nicholas Claxton, Royce O’Neill, and Ben Simmons, and used Watanabe Yuta, TJ Warren (Phoenix), Joe Harris, and Seth Curry evenly. While making good use of the tall player Brooklyn is proud of, he clearly improved his constitution.

He took over the team after Nash was fired and successfully led the team to a 32-19 record. In his first 13 games, he went 7-6 and had a period of adjustment. In the following 20 games, they achieved a good record of 18 wins and 2 losses, including 12 consecutive wins, the club’s most this season. Suddenly, Brooklyn jumped to the top of the Eastern Conference. At last, he showed the appearance of a winning candidate in earnest.

Thanks to this, last December, he was selected as the director of the first December in his life. As soon as he took office, his leadership skills were verified, such as being named the manager of the month. It was in stark contrast to the fact that his former manager was unable to leap forward with his existing strength. In particular, in December, when he had a winning streak, he showed his best performance, suffering only one loss in 13 matches.

But Durant’s injury and Irving’s trade request changed the mood. In the last 18 games, they repeated their losing streak and only added 7 wins. Durant’s injury hurt more than anyone else. To make matters worse, the mood changed drastically as they hoped Irving would leave the team ahead of the trade deadline. In the end, Brooklyn decided to start a full-fledged reorganization by sending out Durant.

Even though both superstars have been sent out, it is possible to maintain power right away. First of all, they secured Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson, and secured four first-round tickets. Disposal of Ben Simmons will be the key, but Bridges and Dorian Finney-Smith are bound by long-term contracts, and O’Neill and Claxton are expected to stay together until next season unless there is a change.

Brooklyn’s coaching staff, including coach Byrne, are expected to make the most of their existing skills. In fact, after the trade, he showed potential by escaping from a losing streak. If they use existing players in the second half, it is worth aiming for a playoff advance. After the season, they have to decide whether to keep Johnson, who becomes a restricted free agent, and the key is to fulfill Dinwiddie’s contract, not a full guarantee.
