Kyrie Irving has officially become a Net.
The six-time All-Star has signed his deal — a reported four-year, $141 million contract — with the team on Sunday, though the Nets have not yet released the full terms of that deal. The NBA champion joins a team that will include DeAndre Jordan, who also signed his deal Sunday, and Kevin Durant (expected to miss the upcoming season due to his Achilles injury).
The 27-year-old’s journey to Brooklyn comes after six seasons in Cleveland and just two in Boston. He trades in his Celtic green-and-white for Nets black-and-white, and New York fans are very excited!
May 8, 2019: Irving plays his last game as a Celtic and scores 15 points in the 116-91 season-ending loss to the Bucks.
June 12, 2019: It is first reported that Irving will opt out of his $21.3 million player option for next season, making him an unrestricted free agent.
June 30, 2019: Irving agrees to a four-year, $141 million deal with the Nets, according to multiple reports.
