Point guard Kyrie Irving is clearly an All-NBA talent when he is on the court, and he is highly regarded by analysts and fans for his ballhandling skills and shot-creation ability. He will be a free agent this off-season, and last played for the Dallas Mavericks.
It seems as though some teams have already inquired about getting Kyrie Irving in a sign-and-trade scenario. A recent report from Ian Begley of SNY revealed that the Suns reached out to the Mavericks about Irving prior to their blockbuster trade for Bradley Beal.
“The Suns don’t have much trade capital left after acquiring Bradley Beal from the Wizards. So it’s fair to assume that they can’t make a trade for a top player like Kyrie Irving. But it’s worth noting that Phoenix had interest in Irving earlier in the offseason.”
“The Suns were among the teams to reach out to Dallas about a potential sign-and-trade for Irving earlier in the offseason, per sources familiar with the matter. Dallas, presumably, wasn’t interested in what the Suns offered at the time. If the Mavs were blown away by the offer, logic says that Beal wouldn’t be a Sun today.”
Though Kyrie Irving would have been a great addition to the Phoenix Suns, it is clear that Bradley Beal is a great substitute. Bradley Beal can play off-the-ball and will be able to face the third-best defender on the court at most times, which should ensure that he has an efficient season. While most would agree that Irving is a better player, it is fair to say Beal is close in overall ability. This season, Bradley Beal averaged 23.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 5.4 APG.
The Dallas Mavericks Are Expected To Offer Kyrie Irving A Four-Year $210 Million Deal
There is no doubt that the Dallas Mavericks will do everything they can to retain Kyrie Irving. In fact, a recent report revealed that the team is expected to offer Irving a four-year, $210 million contract.
“Irving is eligible for a four-year maximum contract with Dallas valued at an estimated $210 million. There has been no suggestion to date that a five-year max worth $272 million is in play for Irving, who has played more than 60 games — or the equivalent in 72 games campaign in 2019-20 and 2020-21 — only twice in the past six seasons.”
We will see whether Kyrie Irving ends up staying with the Dallas Mavericks. He and Luka Doncic are one of the best duos in the league, and they definitely have the talent to win a championship together.
