The NBA Finals haven’t even started, and many people are already discussing what will happen in free agency. Kyrie Irving remains a hot topic around the league, as he’s expected to be one of the most sought-after free agents out there.
In recent days, a report came out suggesting that the point guard had a handshake agreement with the Mavericks on a potential four-year supermax deal, but Michael Scotto of HoopsHype claims that this isn’t the case, as Kyrie hasn’t made a decision on his future yet.
“Kyrie Irving was at Crypto Arena – and if you’re D’Angelo Russell getting ready to play a game, that had to be something to look over and see Kyrie there while Kyrie and LeBron are doing their handshakes – and some wondered if this was a leverage play to get the Lakers to make a move to get Irving.
“I’ve heard there’s no truth to any reports that Irving has a handshake deal with Dallas on a new max contract for four years with a player option at this time. Not to say he won’t be back in Dallas. They certainly have all the motivation to keep him after trading for him and the financial resources to make him the best offer possible, but nothing’s done as of yet.”
Kyrie’s decision can have a big impact on both the Lakers and Mavericks, but more on the Texan team after they gave a lot to acquire the controversial player. His first year with Luka Doncic didn’t pan out as expected, and the team is trying to run it back next season to see if they can play better surrounded by different players.
The Mavs are reportedly making decisions with the notion that Irving will stay on the team. They’re building around Luka Doncic, and if they find the right players, this team can make a lot of noise next season.
Kyrie Irving Says He’s Not Rushing His Free Agency Decision
Still, Kyrie recently sent a big message to his fans, asking them to stop believing and entertaining all the rumors about his future in the league. Irving explained that if it doesn’t come out of his mouth, they shouldn’t believe in anything insiders say.
The player has had enough of this and wants to control his narrative. This free agency can make a big difference for him, and he’s taking the more time he can to make up his mind. The Mavericks have high expectations for him and Luka, but LeBron James is apparently keen to reunite with Irving. Time will tell how this situation plays out.
