If he picks up his choice, he may ink extensions of both three or 4 years, choosing up in 2023-24, however that may require leaving greater than $5 million on the desk subsequent season. The Nets must be anticipated to attempt to shield themselves, both with a shorter deal or baked-in incentives. Irving’s present four-year, $136 million deal accommodates a complete of $4.3 million in incentives, per Spotrac, with $3 million of that so-called “unlikely bonuses.” -via New York Post / Could 18, 2022
