Mavericks Keep Kyrie Irving, Eyeing Future
13 Jun
Summary
- Kyrie Irving is reportedly staying with the Mavericks for the future.
- Other teams have inquired about Irving's availability.
- Gafford, Washington, and Thompson are likely trade candidates.
The Dallas Mavericks have reportedly decided to keep Kyrie Irving, shutting down trade inquiries from other teams. While some suggested moving Irving could help the Mavericks acquire much-needed draft picks, his championship pedigree and veteran presence are deemed valuable for a rebuilding team. His potential pairing with emerging star Cooper Flagg is a significant factor in this decision.
With Irving remaining in Dallas, the focus shifts to other veteran players who might be traded. Sources suggest Daniel Gafford, P.J. Washington, and Klay Thompson are the most probable candidates to be moved as the Mavericks aim to restock their draft reserves. This decision also impacts the team's draft strategy, as a starting spot is now secured, potentially influencing their selection in an upcoming draft rich with guard talent.
