This season is Irving's contract year, but he has not stopped doing things, but because Irving's personal ability is indeed very strong, so he is also sought after by many teams, and may be a little different from American culture and our side, so many people still express support for Irving, although some of his actions hurt the team, but at the same time Irving has gained a large number of fans in the United States.
Because Irving's influence is now very large, so he dares to ask the team for a huge contract, it is understood that Irving and the Lone Ranger's contract has been under negotiation, before Du Qingxia has always wanted to send him a three-year contract of $120 million, that is, the annual salary is about $40 million, but was rejected by Irving, and now Irving is asking the Lone Ranger for a contract with an annual salary of $50 million, even if it is worth $100 million for two years, But Owen required that two strings be added to the contract, but these two conditions were very harsh.
First of all, the first condition is the overlord clause, Irving needs to add a clause to the contract to refuse to trade, the second is not to add any incentive clauses and limit the number of Irving plays, it can be said that these two clauses are to make the lone ranger feel a very headache, if the contract is given, then Irving will stand up for the next two seasons, the team has no way to trade him, which will completely smash into the hand.
So the Lone Ranger is now also in a dilemma, if not given a satisfactory contract, then Irving will play on other teams as a free agent, plus the trade market has been closed, so the Lone Ranger simply cannot exchange Irving for the right player, according to the famous American basketball journalist Bill Simmons broke the news that Cuban was very angry about what Irving did, because in recent days he stood up again to attend the funeral of a black man, it is understood that the black man was killed by the police, It caused a strong public reaction in American society, and Irving still went to the funeral without the game, which made Cuban even more angry.
