With the network fermentation, the things between Owen and the Nets have come to an end after several twists and turns. According to Shams, Owen has chosen to implement the player option of $37 million in the 222-223 season, which means that Owen will remain in the Nets next season.
Earlier, the Nets Journal reported that Owen had applied to the Nets for a deal of signing first and then exchanging, and the Nets also agreed to his request. Owen's request was directed at the Lakers and he was bent on playing for them. According to the news, the Nets got in touch with the Lakers on this matter, and the two sides discussed signing Owen first, but the result did not reach an agreement. The chips given by the Lakers could not impress the Nets, and the deal was abandoned.
When the negotiation between the Lakers and the Nets was fruitless, Owen was reluctant to give up the $37 million next season and could not accept an intermediate asset contract from the Lakers. In this case, he chose the executive player option. It seems that before money, any contradiction is a paper tiger.
Owen said in a statement that ordinary people can make the world work normally, but those who dare to be different can lead everyone to tomorrow. Owen said that he has decided to join. See you in the fall, A11even.
This shows that Owen has decided to implement the player option, and at the same time, he has found an excuse for himself. He is the unique person. No matter how the outside world judges me, I am still the Owen you will never think of. At the same time, Owen pointed out that he would lead the Nets to tomorrow next season, which also created a better excuse for himself.
Now that Owen has implemented the player option of $47 million for next season, what are the options left for him?
After Owen chooses to execute, there are not many choices left for him. After implementing the player option, Owen has lost the possibility of signing first and then changing to a new team. There are only two options.
First, Owen will continue to play for the Nets until the end of the season. This is the most basic choice. After implementing the player option, Owen is ready to play for the Nets.
Secondly, Owen can negotiate with the Nets and give up part of his salary so that the Nets can buy him out, and then Owen can enter the market.
Although there were many trading rumors before Owen decided, it shows that Owen did have a gap with the Nets. Owen's choice to play for the Nets is actually not a good thing for the Nets. Whether Owen's performance in the Cavaliers or Celtics, or his disagreement with the team or players, Owen's performance on the court was uncontrollable and eventually broke up in discord. It was revealed that Owen implemented the player option and stayed in the team for another year. 2
On June 28th, Beijing time, Owen's whereabouts became clear. First, some media revealed that he applied for a deal and chose to sign first and then change and then leave the team, but only the Lakers were interested. Not long ago, Owen received the latest news that he will implement the player option of $37 million in the new season, stay in the Nets and continue to attack the championship with Durant.
In this case, it is somewhat sudden. First, I applied to sign first and then change to leave the team, and then I changed to the executive player option to stay. The most likely thing is that Owen chose to give in. After all, the Nets' attitude is very firm, and there is no room for it, that is, they will not give a top salary contract or provide a long-term contract. It is also the team's hope to let Owen implement the player option. Owen needs a season to prove that he can concentrate all his energy on the game instead of being disturbed by off-court factors.
In the free market, there are some teams interested in Owen, but they are not willing to offer him a long-term contract. The only one who is willing is the Lakers. According to Woj, the Lakers' offer after signing first is centered on Westbrook, but the Nets are not interested in it.
Seeing that you can't leave after signing (as for giving up $37 million to sign $6 million, it's impossible), Owen has also recognized his own market and needs to show himself again. Owen has only played 29 regular-season games this season, averaging 27.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists. There is no doubt about his ability. It depends on whether he can devote all his energy to basketball.
With Owen choosing to execute the player option, Owen has lost the possibility of signing before moving to a new team, and will remain in the Nets in the new season. As for the Lakers, it was another empty joy. If you want Wei Shao to trade for Owen, you can only imagine it. Perhaps the two sides can choose to join hands next summer, when Owen is free and Wei Shao's contract has expired. After Owen chose to execute the player option, he sent an expression on social media, "I know who I am!" " Expose Owen to execute the player option and stay in the team for another year. 3
On June 28th, Beijing time, the NBA entered the offseason. Earlier today, Nets star Owen decided to implement the player option for next season. His salary in the 222-23 season reached $37 million, and Owen also issued a statement saying that he would stay with Nets.
In the statement, Owen said: "Ordinary people keep the world going, but those who dare to be different can lead us to tomorrow. I decided to implement the player option and see you in the fall. " Then Owen posted a tweet, and he wrote: "I know who I am!" "
Since the offseason, Owen's movements have been the focus of American media. His contract renewal talks with the Nets stalled, and then Owen was involved in various trading rumors. It was also reported that Owen might refuse the player option and join the Lakers for $6 million. But as Owen announced the implementation of the player option, these rumors were smashed one by one.
After Owen announced the implementation of the player option, he was quickly rushed to the top of the hot search in the United States. The American media are also talking about this matter in succession. They exposed a famous movie star Denzel Washington's expression to express the feelings of Nets fans. This expression was very nervous at first, and then smiled.
There is also an expression of James sitting on the bench panting in the American media to tease Lakers fans, saying that Lakers fans at this moment are like this. In another picture, James looked at Owen very angrily. The American media wrote: "James looks at Owen like this!"
In the last season, Owen played only 29 times in the regular season, averaging 27.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting 46.9% from the field and 41.8% from three-pointers. His current contract was signed in the summer of 219, with a total value of 136 million US dollars, and will officially expire next summer.
