The relationship between the Nets and Irving seems to have become subtle...
After the Nets were swept by the Greencaps on April 26 this year, Irving once said that he had "no plans to leave and go elsewhere." But the firm statement cannot appease the angry mood of the Nets management;
Irving, NBA is the first player in history to play as a part-time player, which also makes the team's confidence in renewing Irving's contract dropped to the bottom,
nor It's hard to understand why Boss Cai would tailor a contract for Irving that increases based on attendance. In the eyes of many people, being able to offer such a contract is tolerant enough.
But Irving is Irving after all, and you can’t guess his personality, especially last night, After Shams broke the news that the contract renewal negotiations between Irving and the Nets had stalled and he was preparing to join the free market, Irving continued to post on social media Posted on:
first posted a photo of a black monk meditating on ins, with the text: "@心如狠水(peace)" with a hint of mystery in the second medium.
later updated on Twitter and posted an emoticon. Bao, no accompanying text.
It is said that this animated picture of a man in a suit is taken from a movie about a hired killer who was paid by his employer to do things, but his employer betrayed him.
Therefore, this also shows Irving's thinking: Irving believes that the Nets betrayed him by not renewing his maximum salary contract.
In any case, now that Shams has been revealed, it is not groundless. With Irving's unstable personality and Qingqi's brain, will any team want to sign him?
Don’t mention it, it really does exist! It is reported that Lakers , Knicks and Clippers are potential suitors.
The Lakers and Clippers have both exceeded the luxury tax line and the hard cap, so they need to complete the salary matching with Irving's US$36.6 million next season;
The Knicks only need to attract a third party, and then clear the existing contract to free up a cap. Salary space is enough, but it seems that the Knicks players don't buy it.
So for the Nets, I'm afraid the team needs to find a way for Adu to introduce a second superstar...
Assuming that Irving really leaves this time, then the Big Three, who once had the highest scoring efficiency in history, will now only Adu was left alone.
What is horrifying to think about is that even if Irving leaves and the Nets sign all players with minimum salaries for the rest of the lineup, their total salary still exceeds the salary cap of $122 million, and the strongest way to strengthen in the free market is only $10.3 million. Full middle-class exception in U.S. dollars!
In other words, the team does not have much room for reinforcement. If Simmons still plays Call of Duty with high intensity as a patient next season, Adu will most likely become the team's lone warrior and touch The floor in the playoffs is almost the limit of the Nets.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, who will win the game between Irving and the Nets? Just wait and see what happens~
