went round and round, Irving still chose to stay. From the perspective of basketball itself, Irving actually made a fairly correct choice. After all, the only ones willing to get him through the "sign first and then trade" method were the Lakers . After seeing this reality clearly, Irving chose to stay on the team. It was not unexpected that Irving did this.

Due to the superposition of multiple factors, Irving only played less than 30 times on behalf of the team last season. Although the data is not ugly, it is still far away from the expectations of Nets fans and the outside world, especially the team season. After being swept by the Celtics in the first round, Nets fans began to question whether the combination of Irving and Durant could make the team better.

Due to contract issues, this offseason is actually very critical for Irving. Whether to complete the player option and continue to cooperate with the team for one year, test the free agent market next year, or find his own through a sign-and-trade this summer. New owner, these are the two roads before Irving. As one of the best point guards in the league, there is no doubt about Irving's ability. However, some news off the court in recent seasons has made many teams hold a wait-and-see attitude towards signing him, especially this time after it was revealed that he may After the news of leaving the team, few teams really wanted to sign him at this time.

According to previous reports, the contract renewal negotiations between Irving and the Nets have basically collapsed.

The barriers between people should have been eliminated.
