What led to Kyrie Irving's decision

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania 

"They've had contract extension negotiations. Charania said that a contract extension was offered to Irving with some stipulations in it," Charania said. "I'm told that his side was vehemently against any stipulations in an extension. He believes that he deserves a fully-guaranteed contract. He feels like a player of his caliber should not have stipulations in that deal. There's a principle difference between Irving and the Nets. Whatever his principles are, whatever the Nets' principles are, they do not align."
