But here’s the part where I want to toss the microphone to our Mr. The deadline for Irving’s player option for next season (worth $36.9 million) is on Wednesday. The opinions around the league vary, but we’ll know soon enough.
#The nets unbeatable its ok be full#
Is this just leverage for him to get the full max deal he wants with the Nets, or is it a legit power play that spells the end for this superteam in Brooklyn? Here’s what we know: Kyrie is clearly trying to find his way out of Brooklyn, with our Shams Charania recently revealing the impasse in negotiations and mentioning the Lakers, Clippers and Knicks among the possible suitors. In today’s NBA, where the player empowerment era has reached new heights and a discontented star player typically finds his way to the location of his choice, the cap mechanics are almost secondary. There are so many layers to this thing and part of this is a game of ‘Who do you believe?’ So where do things stand on your end?Īmick: First of all, Alex, let’s make sure we’re seeing the forest for the trees here. Nor have those teams - other than the Knicks and mainly for Jalen Brunson - been active to open up any money for the 6-foot-2 point guard. Schiffer: All right gentlemen, where should we start? Nobody can offer Irving more money than the Nets, but the teams he’s expressed interest in going to if he leaves Brooklyn aren’t exactly full of cap space or assets that would interest the Nets in a sign-and-trade. With so much at stake entering a crucial week of option decisions and free agency, Alex Schiffer, The Athletic’s Nets writer, recruited national writers Sam Amick and Joe Vardon to sift through what’s leverage and what’s legitimate about the constant talk surrounding the organization.
At the draft, Rich Kleiman, Durant’s agent and longtime business partner, even made an appearance before NBA Commissioner Adam Silver started introducing the league’s next generation. Irving and the Nets appear deadlocked in contract talks with his June 29 player option deadline approaching.
