If Kevin Durant were to win another championship, it all comes down to whom the Nets choose to pair him with. Right now relying on Kyrie Irving has been a major let down since the player did not follow the vaccination mandate which banned him from playing in the arena. By the time the state lifted the ban, Irving was only allowed to play 29 games and the team was down valuable players.

After half a season of absence, he expects Brooklyn to offer him a four-year deal. The front office has only offered a one-year player extension worth $36.5 million mainly to test his loyalty and reliability. The deadline to sign this contract in on the 29th of June after which if it both parties fail to come to terms, Irving will become a free agent.
