Dallas local reporter Sherrington recently exposed the renewal of the Irving team and the Lone Ranger, and the Irving lion's open-mouthed asking price was not trusted by the Lone Ranger's management, and finally the two sides agreed not to talk about the extension and sprint to the playoffs.
According to reports, Irving's team wants a 5-year $273 million super contract, which is also the largest contract that Irving can enjoy on Byrd's terms, with an average annual salary of $52 million, and once successfully signed, it will be a historic signing for the NBA. Irving's wishful thinking doesn't stop there, he also demanded that it be a fully guaranteed contract, without any restrictions and add-ons, including the right to veto the deal.
In addition, Owen also wants to participate in the co-management of the Lone Ranger's operation. Obviously, these conditions are exactly the same as when he was in the Nets, not only to fully guarantee the big contract, but also to participate in the management of the team. The lone ranger owner Cuban experienced the suffering of Nets owner Cai Chongxin, and thought that he could touch his heart by driving a private jet to pick up Irving, but he didn't know that Irving not only wanted to take money from himself that did not meet his worth, but also wanted to infiltrate the team management, I don't know if he learned from James.
Cuban rejected his request outright, claiming that he was only willing to offer him a four-year, $160 million, four-year $200 million contract, and even more so that he didn't think about veto rights and management rights. The two sides broke up unhappily, but fortunately reached a unified standard, so as not to let the renewal problem disturb the atmosphere of the team, and since then the renewal of the contract has not been discussed. Go all out for the playoffs and wait until the end of the season to negotiate the issue of contract extensions.
The next 20 games or so will be the key to Irving's next contract, but he must also recognize the reality that the Lone Ranger is Doncic's team, and his ability is definitely not worth 50 million a year.
