The NBA playoffs are in full swing, with teams fighting for championships. The Nets entered the offseason early after being swept 4-0 by the Celtics in the playoffs, and the issue of Irving's salary has once again become the focus of the team's hot discussion.
The Nets refused to renew Irving's contract with a maximum salary, and Durant forced the superstar duo to disintegrate
After entering the offseason early, the issue of Irving's maximum salary extension has always been the hottest topic of discussion in the Nets' offseason. After all, for the Nets, leaving Irving's team continues to be competitive, but given Irving's personality of fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, the Nets have many concerns and are naturally unwilling to bet on Irving's personality and the future of the Nets with a 240 million maximum salary.
It is reported that according to the U.S. Nets reporter Kristan Winfield broke the news, the Nets management refused to provide Irving with a maximum salary long contract, they did not even want to give him an ordinary contract, the team now hopes that Irving can consciously execute the contract for next season, and then play the new season, because now Irving's various remarks and practices have completely angered the Nets owner Tsai Chongxin.
This also shows the attitude of the Nets, after all, after the End of the Season, boss Cai's mode of operation for the team was once questioned, and now it seems that Boss Cai is finally completely sober and no longer condones Irving, and his approach has once again caused the dissatisfaction of team leader Durant.
It is reported that Durant has refused any information from the Nets, nor answered the phone, and the intention of forcing the palace is extremely obvious, and it is clear that Durant is standing for the top salary contract of his good brother Irving. But Durant's behavior is likely to anger the team management and even trade him.
After all, there is an endless stream of deals about Durant and Irving, and in the current state of the Nets, the team has no non-selling products, especially when Harden left, Simmons once refused to play, and the Nets have completely lost the strength to compete for the championship.
Even if the giants are traded and the reconstruction mode is opened, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, today's Nets are only left with luxury on paper, and there is not much ability to compete for the title.
Perhaps, Irving's choice to compromise and continue to execute next season's contract will be the best choice, otherwise, in the offseason, the Nets may have a big move, and even the league will have another shock.
After all, Durant and Irving's personal abilities are here, and going to any team will have a huge impact on the league and affect the trend of the playoffs of each team.
