The offseason has just begun, NBA has once again staged a soap opera, Irving 's contract extension has become the most lively topic, The Nets In view of Irving's performance in the past three years since he came to the team, they are only willing to give him a short paper. If it is a long-term contract, more additional conditions will be added to the contract, such as attendance rate, team record, etc. This is what the two sides are currently arguing about. Nowadays, the development of the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Nets. Irving's contract renewal negotiations have reached a deadlock. Although Irving has confirmed the implementation option, whether he can leave the team next season is also a big problem. This has also directly led to Durant being in the Nets. ’s future also hangs in the balance.
Durant believes that the team "did not do enough to understand Irving." Durant has not been in contact with the Nets for several weeks. It seems that he has completely lost confidence in the Nets management. Well-known reporter Kevin O'Connor said: "I went to the Nets in March, and at that time it seemed like you could see some kind of seeds, and it felt like bad seeds were taking root and sprouting. It didn't feel like it was there. A normal operating environment. This does not seem to be a team with a plan at all, but a team with all plans failed. "Although there are many talented players entering the NBA in the 2022 draft, all teams are focused at this time. All focus is on the Nets, and many teams are already preparing to offer Irving and Durant.
As the core player of the team, Irving cannot focus on the team's record. Instead, he takes a high salary and does not work. In the 21-22 season, Irving refused to be vaccinated and was unable to play games. Even if the epidemic prevention policy changed, the Nets Sanctions against Irving have been prohibiting him from playing, but in the end the Nets management had to let Irving play as a part-time player due to record pressure. It can be said that Irving's performance was extremely unprofessional. What he did should not be what happened to a professional player. Such things may not be acceptable to the management no matter which team he is on, and the Nets management just did They must do what they should do, and the entire team cannot fall apart because of one person.
But Durant believes that the Nets management does not understand Irving well. In fact, he should dissuade Irving, explain the pros and cons, and try his best to retain him, instead of watching indifferently and putting his personal interests first. Now think about it, Boss Cai really got nothing. In order to make the team more competitive, he overdrafted the future trade to get Harden . When Harden's status was ups and downs, he also found a way to trade Simmons. replenished the team's strength and spent high wages and luxury taxes, but only won the next round of the series. The team was swept out in the first round this year, and the Nets became the only team to be swept. . Isn’t the current chaotic environment in the team all thanks to Irving? What other reason does Durant have for asking the Nets management to look at the problem from Irving's standpoint?
Even Harden's departure has an inseparable relationship with Irving. After Harden left, it was revealed that he was not satisfied with his role in the team. He chose to join the Nets because he did not want to be as arrogant as he was with the Rockets. Playing basketball, but when he came to the Nets team, he still needed to do so much, and his playing style did not change much. Originally, if Irving was on the court, Harden would not need to hold the ball a lot, but it was because of Irving's selfishness that he was eventually allowed to play. Harden chose to leave. A player who has been with the Nets for two years has played more games and played more time than a veteran like Irving. In order to trade for Harden, the Nets' first-round draft picks for the next five years are all in the hands of the Rockets. Although the Nets got Simmons, if the Nets record is poor in the future, then it looks like the Nets will suffer huge losses.
The only way the Nets can do now is to try to stabilize Irving. Once Irving chooses to leave after the end of the contract, it will be difficult for Durant to stay, and the lineup the Nets have spent a lot of money to build will fall apart. The relationship between Irving and the Nets is tense at the moment. Although he is determined to execute the contract, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Irving leaves. The Nets should also start thinking about how to minimize the losses. Without Irving, the Nets will at least have Durant. The rand can cut losses.It's just that this time the performance of Durant and Irving will deter other teams. Maybe other teams will seriously consider the transaction. Simmons would never have dreamed that he would become the cornerstone of the team again, and the Rockets would You may not have thought that you would actually make a lot of money this time.
