Point guard Kyrie Irving is an All-NBA talent when on the court, and there’s no doubt that he’s an elite player that can be a difference-maker on a team. He is well known for his handles and shot creation and has one of the most diverse scoring packages in the league.
This summer, Kyrie Irving will be a free agent, and he has been linked to a number of teams. He last played for the Dallas Mavericks. It seems as though Kyrie Irving’s free agency could be affected by Bradley Beal’s trade to the Phoenix Suns, as NBA reporter Marc Stein recently revealed that this “reinforced the notion” that the Mavericks are the only ones trying to sign Kyrie Irving in free agency.
“League sources say that these developments — especially the latter — have reinforced the notion that the Mavericks appear to be the only confirmed bidder for Irving’s services as the opening bell for 2023 NBA Free Agency at 6 PM ET on June 30 draws near.”
The Phoenix Suns were linked with Kyrie Irving in the past, but their acquisition of Bradley Beal likely means that they will no longer try to get Irving. Thus, that benefits the Mavericks, and it seems more and more likely that Kyrie Irving will remain in Dallas.
This season, Kyrie Irving averaged 27.1 PPG, 5.1 RPG, and 5.3 APG during his time with the Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets. The Mavericks could be serious contenders with Kyrie Irving next season, and hopefully, he stays on the team.
Kyrie Irving And The Dallas Mavericks Might Have Had A Handshake Deal Ahead Of This Year’s Free Agency
There are some who believe that Kyrie Irving staying with the Dallas Mavericks was a foregone conclusion. In fact, some claimed that the team and Irving had a “handshake deal” before he was traded from the Brooklyn Nets.
“I hear they had a handshake deal before the trade [with the Brooklyn Nets],” one source said. “And Kyrie wouldn’t have said yes to anything less than the max.”
We will see whether Kyrie Irving will end up in the future. Though other teams could come calling in free agency, he seems likely to stay put with the Mavericks as of right now.
