Kyrie Irving is expected to opt out of his contract and become an NBA free agent this summer. Once he declines his player option, he will be eligible to receive a max offer of five years for close to $250 million from the Brooklyn Nets.“

Uncle Drew” all but confirmed this when he appeared on The ETCs, Kevin Durant’s podcast. Irving stressed that he’s looking to “put together four straight years of team dominance.” He would almost absolutely enjoy that while earning the max extension that he’s eligible to get from the Nets.


quote:

Dan Patrick on his podcast was incredulous with Kyrie Irving’s vision of long-term dominance:

quote:

“He [Irving] also says to Kevin Durant, ‘You know, I can see us on a four-year run of dominance.’ Well, that kind of times out for a max contract that if you give me a four-year contract and then we’ll have a four-year run. I’d be satisfied with a one-year run from Kyrie right now. Just a one-year run. How bout you play? You guys do something, bring it all together. A half-year, that might be good enough.”



quote:

Since signing up with the Brooklyn Nets to form a superteam with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving has played in 20, 54 and 29 games in three seasons. He’s missed 123 and played only 103 games for the Nets

I imagine Boston fans would contribute a fair amount of that money just to sweep and taunt Kyrie out of the playoffs every year.

Imagine Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook on the floor together. I would pay money to watch Simmons pass open a wide open shot to give it to Westbrick to take a wide open shot while KD is triple teamed at half court.

Call his bluff and let him go play in Sacramento. The guy is a cancer he’ll be just fine playing for nothing but a paycheck.

I wanna see a team comprised of Lebron, Kyrie, Harden, Ben Simmons & Draymond Green, just for the dysfunction & drama it would produce.

4 straight years of team dominance, right. Durant turns 34 in September and is already starting his decline as evidenced by the way Boston played him.

James didn’t score a single basket in the final 2 minutes of Game 7. Irving made title winning shot.
