If we want to talk about the biggest farce before the start of this year's free market, it is whether Irving will implement the player option and whether he will leave the Nets team. Teams with Irving on the team have always had no shortage of topics to talk about. This is a consensus reached in recent years. What no one expected was that Irving, who was playing well at the beginning, would turn into what he is now. While it is surprising, one also has to lament that things are constantly changing. Irving's current state has caused problems for the Nets and many teams. Westbrook official announcement decision! Irving continues to follow up, Lakers and Lao James are done with it, give him $6.3 million.

As far as the Lakers' current tasks are concerned, they still focus on how to deal with Westbrook. As we all know, the end of this month is the deadline for making a final decision on player options. Currently, Westbrook holds the player option, and he has also officially announced a decision, which is to implement the $47.1 million player option for next season. In fact, as far as this decision is concerned, everyone can easily guess that Westbrook will definitely implement it. If Westbrook can maintain his form like James , he can get a larger contract, but Westbrook's state has declined sharply. It would be a real loss if the player option is not implemented. Westbrook's salary next season will reach $47.1 million. He would be a fool not to exercise the player option.

For Irving, he is actually in a state of confusion now. The Nets' attitude has been very clear. They cannot use other methods to raise the price and force the team to compromise and sign a long-term contract. On the other hand, the Nets have also stated that they can sign and then trade Irving. There are various signs that the Nets will no longer be as weak as last season, even if Durant eventually applied for a trade to leave the team. This is something Irving didn't expect, and it is beyond Durant's control. But now Irving still has a chance, which is to implement the next player option. Judging from the latest disclosed news, Irving followed up with Westbrook and also implemented the player option for next season.

Irving took a step back. This was a victory for the Nets. In fact, the Nets have their own reasons for doing this. Everyone sees Irving's attributes and what they have done to the Nets. Irving decided to stay with the Nets. The Lakers, who had had many rumors with Irving before, can take a break. They are still thinking about how to make good use of their existing lineup to prepare for next season. In addition, James should not be disappointed. Irving himself used the Lakers to increase his own value. It is impossible to say that he will join the Lakers on a mid-level contract model. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is impossible for Irving to give up so much money, and he is not stupid to this extent. It is worth mentioning that Irving also gave everyone a warning. If the team has a tough attitude, raising the price will not work.

The next thing the Lakers have to do is to keep Monk. Monk has shown his worth in the 21-22 season, and many teams are also eyeing him. With Monk's performance, there is no problem in getting a multi-million dollar contract. However, Monk expressed his stance towards the Lakers. He knew that the Lakers might not give him the contract he wanted, but he was very comfortable staying with the Lakers. The Lakers should give Monk a mid-level contract. US$6.3 million is also the largest contract the Lakers can offer. Overall, the Lakers have a lot to do in the offseason. If you want to improve the team's competitiveness by picking up leaks, it is basically impossible. The Lakers can't wait so long. It's time for thick eyebrows to start moving, and Westbrook also has to make compromises.
