On April 28, Beijing time, when the Nets were swept by the Celtics 0-4 in a humiliating rout, Irving naturally needed to bear a considerable amount of responsibility, not only because his performance on the court did not meet expectations, but also because of a series of "demon" incidents under the court. It's just that according to salary expert Yossi Gozlan, he thinks Irving is likely to refuse to execute the player option and instead renew a five-year contract with the Nets for $247.6 million or $1.913 for four years.
Irving has turned 30 and is in the prime of his career, but his various issues on the sidelines are undoubtedly more attractive. Whether it is Irving's previous refusal to be vaccinated and led to the suspension of the team, and the inability to play in the home game after that, to the implementation of the "Ramadan mode" to affect the physical competitive ability, etc., it has repeatedly caused a public opinion storm.
It's just that the Nets are also very passive this summer, they can't let Irving go in vain, and Irving also expressed his desire to stay with the Nets after the season, hoping to continue to stay with the team partner Durant.
In this case, the Nets will most likely renew Irving this summer, even if the two sides have already had negotiations on the renewal, but because of Irving's off-the-court affairs, the renewal negotiations have been shelved.
According to salary expert Yossi Gozlan, "Irving has $36.9 million in player options next season, and he's likely to refuse to execute such player options." This summer idol will be eligible to renew his contract with the Nets for a five-year, $247.6 million contract extension. Of course, Irving can also refuse to execute the player option, choosing to sign a four-year, $191.3 million contract, and if Irving chooses to leave the Nets, he can sign up to a four-year, $183.6 million contract with a new team. ”
If Irving refuses to carry out the player option for the remaining year, whether he will renew his contract with the Nets for 5 years or 4 years may depend on whether Irving wants to go with Durant, because Durant has 4 years left in his contract with the Nets. If Irving wants to end his Nets career with Durant, he will most likely choose to extend the contract for 4 years and $191.3 million, and if he renews the contract for 247.6 million dollars for five years, he will maximize the benefits of the contract.
