Beck said: “Kyrie, playing the martyr all day yesterday, ‘Oh, I gave up all this money.’ Shut up! You’re not a martyr, you accomplished nothing, congratulations. "He’s not the only factor, but you were the biggest factor in the Nets falling way, way short of expectations last season.

GM Sean Marks cited Irving’s unreliability and injury history as the biggest reasons why they wouldn’t offer him the contract. Most basketball analysts have criticized Irving’s statement, pointing out that the vaccine wasn’t the only reason why the Nets wouldn’t offer him the deal.

Kyrie Irving took time off when the US Capitol was attacked and partied with friends and family at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. His actions cost him several games as it was against league rules.

He, as a businessman, and I know Kyrie is a businessman, he would not give himself that contract.”
Kyrie Irving may never get the max deal that he s looking for The Brooklyn Nets featuring Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Joe Harris could end up winning the NBA championship. Even if Irving plays well in a title run, he may never get the bag.

Years of off-court issues aren’t easily pushed under the rug, particularly since he could be playing his best during a contract year. Chris Broussard, co-host on “The Odd Couple”, explained how a successful year for Irving could not sway teams from giving him the bag.

People are gonna be like, ‘Well, once he gets the bag is he gonna go back to his old ways?’” It may take years for the former Rookie of the Year winner to earn back the equity he has lost. Irving may be offered a max contract by any team, but it will likely include stipulations such as games played. Teams will be protecting themselves should they decide to offer the former champ the bag.
