The Mavericks made a lot of money, Kevin took the initiative to cut his salary and renew his contract, 119 million yuan in 4 years

The 2024-25 NBA Finals have ended, and many teams have begun to rebuild their own off-season lineup. Whether to strengthen the deal or renew the contract and sign the stars depends on what the team boss and management think in the next period. The Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies fired the first shot in the 2025 off-season trading market, and we can also see the Celtics sending away Ju Holiday and Porzingis one after another, saving directly $238 million. The trading market is very lively, but the contract market is also lively. According to the latest US media reports, Kyrie Irving has rejected the $43 million free agent option in 2025. He chose to voluntarily cut his salary to renew his contract with the Dallas Mavericks, renew his contract with the other party, and signed a four-year new contract worth $119 million. After Kyrie Irving was injured, many NBA fans and media analysts said that after the Dallas Mavericks sent off Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving will be the team's next target to clean up. Because from NBA history, we can see that there are not many players who can recover from ligament tear injuries. Klay Thompson has also suffered similar injuries, directly from an All-Star star to an ordinary starter.

Kyrie Irving's injury will affect his speed and explosiveness. Most players rely on these two points to establish themselves in the NBA. However, Kyrie Irving has epic skills and a sense of ball, which makes him optimistic that even if he does not renew his contract with the Dallas Mavericks, he can become the most wanted player for other teams. Moreover, the salary for renewal will not be less than $40 million. Once it is lower than that price, Kyrie Irving will be snatched up. Because of Kyrie Irving's skills and character, he has been recognized by many fans and media in recent years, and he can bring huge traffic and attention to the team.

Kyrie Irving had a torn ACL rehabilitation surgery and it looked pretty good. Perhaps this is also the reason why the Dallas Mavericks are willing to give him an annual salary of nearly $40 million. Kyrie Irving averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the 2024-25 season. After many years, he also returned to the All-Star Competition and ushered in the ninth All-Star Competition in his personal career.

Kyrie Irving's salary cut renewal is a good thing for the Dallas Mavericks. Now they have Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, who has a salary cut, and the No. 1 pick in 2025. They have the opportunity to build a better lineup in the 2025-26 season to strive for the playoffs and NBA championships. After the deal sent off Luka Doncic, they were opposed and criticized by a large number of fans and media, and Kyrie Irving was one of the important factors that most fans also supported them.
