Kyrie Irving is officially returning to the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $126 million deal after months full of rumors and speculation. The veteran player reportedly flirted with other teams, but the Texan squad is the one getting his services for the next three years.
Irving has taken to social media to share his thoughts on this process, thanking his agent/stepmother and his business manager/father for walking with him throughout this process.
“Big Shoutout to
My Agent Shetellia Riley Irving
And
My business manager Drederick Irving,
Who did a great job throughout the whole entire process.
Thank you
A11EVEN MANAGEMENT FIRM,” he tweeted.

Irving has always had big support from his family, and this free agency decision wasn’t going to be the exception. The 2016 NBA champion was reportedly a sought-after player but only the Mavs could give him a big contract like this.
The reunion with LeBron James is ruled out now, as the Lakers superstar has no intention of joining the Dallas Mavericks soon.
The Mavs now have to work to build the best possible squad around Irving and Luka Doncic. They’re an incredibly gifted duo on offense, but their defense is simply terrible.
The front office needs to focus on this for the rest of the offseason, as they need to make up for Irving and Doncic’s defensive shortcomings. If they make the right decisions, the championship could be a realistic goal for Dallas.
NBA Fans Criticize Kyrie’s Decision To Stay With Mavericks
Meanwhile, NBA fans don’t think this was a good move by Kyrie or the Mavericks. Many stated that it was a matter of time before the controversial star asked for a trade, others said that the fit with Doncic is still not good and that can hurt the team’s chances to succeed.
Irving remains a polarizing player and that won’t change with this announcement. It remains to be seen if the Mavs are the team where he feels the most comfortable in his career and if he’s able to finish his NBA tenure with them.
