Give up 314 million in 5 years! Re-sign 119 million in 3 years! Irving has cut his salary sharply, and the Mavericks are really about to take off

NBA draft is approaching, undercurrents inside and outside the league are surging, and many major deals and signings are quickly reached. Many stars such as Bain, Durant, Holiday, Poole, and Poole have changed their courses, and stars such as Adams and Gafford have obtained contract renewal in advance. At the same time, many stars such as James, Harden, Irving are about to reach their contract year and have player options. How they handle player options has attracted much attention and affects the whole body. Just now, Irving took the lead in making the decision to solve the Mavericks' worries.

According to NBA famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that Irving refused to execute the player option worth $43 million in the last year and signed a three-year, $119 million contract with the Mavericks, which includes player options for the 2027-28 season. Subsequently, NBA name Marc Stein followed up and reported that Irving was determined to refuse to execute a player option worth $43 million by the deadline, but what the Mavericks and Irving have reached is only an oral agreement, and the two sides will officially sign a new contract by July 7.

This season, Irving was reimbursed for an ACL torn left knee season. Irving played 50 games for the Mavericks, averaging 36 minutes per game, and averaged 24.7 points + 4.8 rebounds + 4.6 assists + 1.3 steals + 2.9 three-point shooting percentages in the three events were 47.3%, 40.1% and 91.6% respectively. With Doncic's departure, Irving became the new torchbearer on the Mavericks' back line. The healthy Irving can indeed take on this important task, but this also laid the potential for Irving's excessive overdraft. According to the calculations of NBA salary experts, Irving could have signed a five-year, $314 million maximum salary contract with the Mavericks if he refused the player option. Considering factors such as injuries and age, Irving took the initiative to cut his salary significantly this time, and those who know the times are heroes; it is also the greatest sincerity that both parties give each other - the Mavericks are willing to wait for the return of King Irving, and Irving is also willing to cut his salary to pave the way for the Mavericks.

gave up 5-year USD 314 million and re-signed 3-year USD 119 million. Irving significantly reduced his salary, and the Mavericks made a profit, which was of great significance. On the one hand, Irving and Davis have aligned their contract years, and both sides will have player options in the 27-28 season. In other words, the Mavericks can regard the next two years as a window period for the championship, and at that time, they can hand over the torch to Flag no matter what the ending is. On the other hand, according to NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, after Irving jumped out of the player option to cut salary and renew his contract, the Mavericks can avoid triggering the second rich line, and also allow the Mavericks to flexibly use a taxpayer middle-class special case worth $5.7 million.

According to NBA sports injury expert Evan Jeffries, Irving suffered a torn cruciate ligament of the anterior cross-section of the left knee on March 4, and the recovery time of this injury will take about 9-12 months. In other words, Irving will not return to the field until December 25 to March 26. Before Irving returns, the Mavericks need to find a stand-in for Irving. NBA famous reporter Shams pointed out incisively that the Mavericks can sign a defender with a $5.7 million middle-class special case, with potential targets including Paul, Brogdon, Russell and Schroeder. Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available. If the Mavericks can make up for the shortcomings in the back line, then this team will inevitably become a disruptor in the Western Conference in the new season and will really take off.
