Mavericks Not Taking Kyrie Irving Calls
The Mavericks have reportedly told teams Kyrie Irving isn’t available. Marc Stein said Dallas started shutting down calls in June, even as Shams Charania reported that teams, including the Heat, were monitoring Irving. Tim MacMahon said Irving is the top question he gets from NBA executives and scouts around Dallas. Dallas is 4-2, and Kyrie has been a big reason why with 21.4 points per game. He turns 35 this season and can hit free agency after his 2027-28 player option, while the Mavs build around 19-year-old Cooper Flagg. That timeline gap will keep the trade talk alive, but Dallas isn’t entertaining it right now.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Kyrie Irving finishes this season in Dallas and starts in the Mavericks’ first playoff game.
