On March 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season is in full swing, and the Nets will challenge the Heat away. Before the game, Irving personally admitted that he did not want to leave his good brother Durant, before Durant had completed an early contract extension with the Nets, and Irving's meaning was to confirm that he would renew his contract with the Nets.
Now the hearts of Nets fans have fallen, after all, Durant and Irving have joined forces, coupled with Simmons' ability, the Nets still have a good chance of winning the championship. Irving and Durant both want to create their own legends at the Brooklyn Nets, but the two left early in the Eastern Conference semifinals in their first year, and Irving and Harden both suffered injury problems. With Harden going to Philadelphia 76ers this season, the Nets Big Three have also officially disbanded.
The Nets have missed one of their best chances to win the title, and must seize this year's championship window, although Irving personally promised to stay in the team, but there will be too much uncertainty in the future. For example, this season, Irving almost missed most of the Nets' games because he refused to be vaccinated, which has also become an important reason for Harden to leave the Nets.
Irving said on the renewal issue that when the summer comes, I will have some conversations with the team, but I can't leave my No. 7 brother, which means that Irving will stay with the Nets at the same time as The No. 7 Durant. In fact, last year, the Nets talked with Irving about the renewal issue, but in the end there was no conclusion, and then it was not resolved.
After that, Irving was even more in a gap with the Nets management because he refused to be vaccinated, but fortunately, now Irving can play at home, which has a positive effect on the Nets and Irving to reach a contract extension in the summer. This also reflects the importance of Durant to Irving, Irving first came to the Nets, and then will also be in the Warriors injured Durant reinforcements, Durant has a very critical role for Irving, in Irving's eyes Durant is his good big brother.
So, is the Nets' 5-year, $246 million extension to Irving really cost-effective? Fans are also worried, after all, Irving's personality is a bit weird, and because refusing to get vaccinated is also missing too many Games for the Nets, full of uncertainty.
Some fans even commented that once Irving missed 50% of the games due to injury, 15% of the games were suspended for strange reasons, and only 35% of the games could play.
It seems that fans are also worried about Irving's uncertainty, which will be a very big test for the Nets management, but the ball holder believes that the Nets will eventually sign Irving, because the combination of Durant + Irving is too tempting.
Do you think the Nets will eventually choose to renew Irving for 246 million in 5 years?
