Why did Irving choose to join forces with Durant instead of James?

I think there are a few reasons why Irving chose to join forces with Durant and not choose James:

01. I have already had an experience that is not suitableIrving and James used to be with the Cavaliers and became teammates to win a championship, but Irving still left, and the two were not very suitable. Irving is a guy who wants to control a team, and he wants to prove that he can lead a team, which is why he left the Cavaliers for the Celtics. <>

James is just another person with a strong ability to control, with him is definitely the boss of the team, and there are many fans, and teammates will naturally receive more comments, if a person who wants to win doesn't care about other things, he is very suitable, but unfortunately Owen is not such a person, in fact, Owen played very good statistics when he was next to James, because James can attract a part of the defense.

02. Durant's strength is not badJames' historical status is undoubted, but Durant's single-player ability is also unsolvable. Durant's strength is not much different from James's strength, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it goes without saying that these two people are the most popular in the league now, and Durant's experience is also very imaginary with Irving's. <>

Durant didn't have a comfortable time with the Warriors, Curry's limelight was not low, Irving was always in the team when he was with the Celtics, he couldn't be the boss, the two of them still knew each other, and the two stayed together, Durant's desire to control was not so strong, Irving naturally had more power, and Durant would also be willing to release a certain amount of the ball.

03. Analyze from the teamJames' Lakers won't necessarily choose Irving. The Lakers must have signed James to win the championship, but at the same time, they also looked at the future of the team, and the team's choice at that time was not Irving but Anthony Davis, which was more suitable for the Lakers' system than the latter. <>

Anthony Davis is young and his strength is not bad, and his talent is also very high, even if James can build a team around thick eyebrows after retiring, and his personality is good, Irving is actually not suitable to be the leader of the team, and he often has conflicts when he is with the Celtics.

To sum up, this is the reason why Irving chose to join forces with Durant and not choose James.

Because James needs the ball, having James in him can only be the second in command. At that time, Irving was still immature, and after leaving James, he was ostracized by the Celtics. In the end, he teamed up with Durant to win the championship.

Because Owen wants to be the boss. That's why he would rather choose Durant than be James' little henchman.

Because Irving wants to be the boss of the team, teaming up with James will always be suppressed by James.

At present, James has very good players around him, such as: Kuzma, Anthony Davis, Rajalondo, Howard, etc., Irving is just the icing on the cake and has no value for himself, and teaming up with Durant is a new combination will be more valuable.

The fool teamed up with James, winning the championship in Zhan Blowing, that is how good James is, losing in Zhan Blowing, that is James teammates, why bother.

For Owen, the enemy of his enemy is his friend!

LeBron James and Irving are both top players in the league, both are supergiants in the league, when Irving played for the Cavaliers, James joined the hometown Cavaliers, to bring a championship to his hometown, James as the most comprehensive player, and Irving's verbal quarrel has been talked about The relationship between Irving and James is like a teacher and a student, before joining the Cavaliers, Irving was the core leader of the team, after James joined the Cavaliers, Irving always felt that he was no longer the boss of the team, his own ** The degree is also not as high as before, Irving signed a top-tier contract with the Cavaliers, and his own salary will be reduced after James joins.

James' joining, no matter who it is, is very excited, the team boss, the fans. James came back with a mission, and when Irving watched from the sidelines, people were very tolerant and respected him despite his sometimes mistakes. Next season, Irving did well, but under the shadow of James, Irving's performance didn't look great, and James won all the honors.

In the Finals Cavaliers reversed the Warriors 1-3, the focus of the whole game was on James, people only focused on James, and the other players didn't seem to be so concerned, so Irving's heart began to feel unbalanced, winning the championship but not proving his strength, as if the entire team's results were beaten by James, he was very dissatisfied with the fans only remembering James's key blocks, and the fans didn't seem to be as important as James's blocks.

Because he was eager to make a name for himself and prove his ability to lead the team and lead, Irving joined the Green Army Celtics, but after Irving joined the Celtics, he found that it was not easy to lead the team to win the championship, he became the team's big brother, but did not lead the Celtics to play well, Irving apologized to James, and then Irving James's relationship was released.

Irving changed to the Nets, formed a giant with Durant, and then took down James on Twitter, James did not respond to this, mainly because Irving has always been unconvinced by James, and he wants to urgently prove his leadership ability but it backfires, which is the contradiction between Irving and James.

Because their status in the team is completely different, the scoring ability of the two of them is also completely different, there are common interests, the team wanted to trade Irving in the course of the game, and this matter has a certain relationship with James.

This is because James and Irving both have their own ideas on the playing field, James is the most well-rounded player, and often has a verbal altercation with Irving because of the strategy of the game, so there are often conflicts between the two of them.

It's because the two of them have different playing styles and completely different methods in the process of playing, and then Irving has very little ball in his hands, and the mentality of the two people is completely different, and Irving's team is ready to trade in the draft, which has something to do with James.

First of all, James and Irving had a feud when they were Cavaliers. During his time with the Cavaliers, Irving only joined after James left, and has always been the absolute boss of the team. At this time, the two of them were at peace.

As a result, after a few years of Chi Zheng, when the team improved, James actually returned, and became the boss, reorganized the team with James's will, and sent some old players away, which may have Owen's friends, or Owen Lingsong's opinion, in this case, Owen is naturally dissatisfied.

Secondly, for Irving, he also contributed to Cleveland's champion, but what made Irving even more unacceptable was that when discussing trading himself, he did not come to ask for his own opinion, but handed over his fate to another player, which shows that Irving was not respected at all by the Cavaliers at that time. So, later in the summer of one year, Owen resolutely left the Knights. And Durant, although he made a name for himself when he was on the Warriors team, could not prove himself, and he understood that he had to lead a brand new team to win the championship after all, otherwise, his career would never be perfect.

Then, Durant and Irving, two frustrations came together, they have a breath in their hearts, they understand each other, eager for affirmation and respect, in Irving's heart, Durant and James are the best teammates, but Irving is more willing to play with people who understand him, play in a team that believes in him, and is more willing to win the championship for the Nets, if he can win the championship, then this championship is undoubtedly more important in Irving's heart than the one in 16 years.

Finally, and most importantly, Irving and Durant have no conflict of interest, which is the biggest difference from James. And because Durant yearns for shooting skills, he often respects Irving and often practices shooting together to improve his skills, so, under this premise, Durant has been letting Ou Dan Jiwen like a big brother. And Irving himself was physically and mentally exhausted because of a transfer to a team, only to find that he was not suitable for dealing with teammates, not suitable for being the boss, or comfortable for the second, and Durant who has never been the boss in the Warriors just wanted to be the boss to prove himself, so the two hit it off and pushed the boat down, and Irving naturally had no opinion on being the second boss next to Durant at that time.

Because he can increase the probability of winning the championship to the maximum in Minzhou by cooperating with Durant, and even if he is the second boss next to Durant, he has the feeling of being the boss, so he is unwilling to stay by James's side.

The main reason is that the two of them have a tacit understanding every time they cooperate, so they choose to do this.

The relationship between James and Irving is actually not very good, and when he played for the Cavaliers, he joined because James left.

Durant is the real "boss" of the Nets, in fact, the current Nets were formed by Durant, it was Durant who pulled his good friends Irving and Jordan Jr. together to form a team, Harden also came to Durant, and the Nets have many role players recruited by Durant, and Durant's performance after his comeback is also worthy of the position of boss, and Irving is not a suitable choice to be the boss, and it can also be seen from the salary that Durant is higher than Irving, So Durant is the real brother of the Nets.

In fact, Durant and Irving are very, very good friends, who is the boss is not so important to these two people, before Durant returns from injury, Irving can be said to be the boss of the Nets, but like in the Celtics, Irving, the boss of the team, is not qualified, he will often miss the game for no reason, and will say some not very good remarks about the team.

Durant's comeback this season can be said to have saved Irving, Durant is really like the boss of a team, he stands up when his teammates are questioned, solves problems when the team has problems, and he will also recruit Harden, Griffin, and Aldridge, although Durant still misses a lot of games this season, but whether on or off the court, Durant is the real star of the Nets, and Irving does not have the life of being the boss, He's better suited as Durant's helper.

Irving has always had the dream of being the boss, but he has never been able to prove his ability to lead the team, when the Cavaliers, before James came back, he led the team to compete for the top pick every year, and after James came back, the Cavaliers were on the right track, after winning the championship, Irving chose to leave, he didn't want to survive in the shadow of James.

And when it came to the Celtics, he still failed to prove himself, he had a lot of trouble with the team's young people, coaches, and management, and in the end he even had conflicts with the team, resulting in Irving being booed all over the stadium as soon as he arrived in Boston for the game, which made the sensitive Irving very hurt.

And Durant has always been the boss of the team, whether it was during the Thunder period, or later joined the Warriors, although the real boss of the Warriors is Curry, but in terms of performance on the court, Durant is the indispensable one, and Durant, who feels disrespected in the Warriors, also chose to leave the Warriors.

So Durant is more suitable than Irving to be the boss of a team, and even Harden is more suitable than Irving, after Harden joined the Nets, Durant began to rest frequently, and Harden really embodies the value of a leader, just like he has been doing in the Rockets, and Irving can only say that although he is very mature technically, mentally he is not suitable as the leader of the team, he tries to do it, but he is really not suitable.

So far, the "boss" of the Nets is Durant, which is not controversial, maybe when Irving really matures, he will become the "boss" of the team.

The Lakers were planning to form a Big Three, but they still couldn't get what they wanted. James only welcomes new helpers with thick eyebrows. Leonard, George and the Clippers were together, Deng and Wei teamed up again in the Sky, but went to the most eye-catching Durant, but chose to team up with Irving in the Nets.

As we all know, Owen has not had a happy past two years.

In the first game of the first season, Hayward lost the power of the Giants due to a serious injury, while Horford did not perform well as a Giant, and Irving missed a large number of games due to multiple injuries. But in such a situation, the young players of the Celtics played well and did not hold the team back. In the '18 playoffs Eastern Conference Finals, they did what Irving had always wanted to do — compete with James.

Irving was offended by the ambiguous attitude of the Celtics management, who clearly requested a trade for the championship and team leader position. But as a result, the "Big Three" existed in name only, and Irving even fell into a situation where he was competing with rookie players for the leadership ......It can be said that Irving finally chose to leave the Celtics not because he was afraid of losing to these rookie players, but because he had his own pride and was too lazy to compete with them for the leader position, but in fact, his strength and bearing could not conquer his teammates, so he naturally became the team leader.

After choosing to leave the Celtics, the news of Irving and James winning the championship together came out again. Some fans even proposed to trade Love and then sign Tyrone Lue as the team's coach to form the "Los Angeles Cavaliers". In a similar situation, Irving and Durant can actually form a stable friendship.

This corresponds to Irving's current choice to become the second best player. He probably doesn't care about the leader, but he doesn't want to be the end of the team at all, but wants to control a team more.

Controlling a team is not the same as a team owner, and that's Irving's instinct as a point guard. When he saw that Curry could play a lot of balls and affect the outcome of the game, he certainly wanted to be a point guard. Compared to James, Durant is better off the ball offense thanks to his shooting ability.

The key is that Durant has no desire to control the team's offense. Over the years, he's been more of a scoring destination for the team. So Irving wants to control the ball, but James can't give up the ball, which is why they broke up and can't "get back together", unless one day James starts attacking without the ball like Durant.
