Earlier today, according to the NBA name Shams revealed that Irving has hired his stepmother Shetallia Riely Irving as his new agent, so that Irving's stepmother has become the only black female agent active in the NBA, and Irving's move may also indicate to some extent that he will follow up with the Nets, because if Irving wants to sign with other teams, it involves many professional details, including salary. The scope of personal rights must be considered, and these must be sorted out by professionals, and his stepmother has not been informed that she is a full-time agent, so it is very likely that she can only deal with some relatively simple things, and renewing the original team is relatively simpler than transferring to other teams.
In fact, for Irving such a more isolated player, relatives seem to have an important significance to him, as early as last year, Irving was absent from the Nets' training and games for "personal reasons" without reason, when even coach Nash did not know where he went, and then there were media reports that Irving was because he attended his sister's 30th birthday party in Toronto, thus leaving the team for personal reasons, and at the birthday party at the time, Irving did not wear a mask, which caused heated discussion in the outside world.
As early as Irving was 4 years old, his own mother unfortunately died, Irving was also raised by his father Derek Owen, so Irving has a deep affection for his father since childhood, the reason why he left the mother team Cavaliers, in part, is also because his father was dissatisfied with the Cavaliers, and one of LeBron James's confidants at that time had a public affair, and Irving, who was on the same front as his father, finally fulfilled his father's wishes, forced the Palace Cavaliers management, and was later traded by the team to the Celtics.
Admittedly, Irving's personal strength is beyond doubt, even if he plays as a "part-time player" this season, he can still hand over the all-round data of 25.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals, but if he really wants to let his close relatives "interfere" with his career, Irving is likely to become the "next Leonard". Like Owen, Leonard is also very serious about his relatives.
The reason why he and the Spurs openly tore their faces was because their uncle was doing something about it, if it were not for his uncle fanning the flames on the side, Leonard would really be able to become the core of the Spurs' leadership in the post-GDP era, and have the opportunity to eventually grow old spurs. And the final plot everyone also knows, although at that time including the Clippers, Lakers, Raptors all expressed interest in Leonard (the Raptors want to renew him), but his uncle's lion opened his mouth, to the Lakers a series of unreasonable demands at the same time, but in private secret Chen Cang, and the Clippers walked extremely closely, and finally let the Clippers with the lowest chance of getting a small card, successfully ushered in the superstar.
As for whether Owen's stepmother will be like Uncle Ka's "old rapist", we don't know for the time being, after all, there has been no negative news about her before, but with Leonard's previous experience, this time Owen "nepotism", hiring his stepmother to become an agent, for the Nets, or need to be careful, if the final really sent away the All-Star backcourt, so as to have no gain, Boss Cai estimated that he would really cry in the toilet.
