Kyrie Irving doesn't want to talk about his future, in Dallas or elsewhere.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving in the first quarter of an NBA basketball game against the Sacramento Kings in Sacramento, Calif., Saturday, Feb. 11, 2023.Kyrie Irving doesn’t want to talk about his future, in Dallas or elsewhere.
."I've dealt with it before, and it's very emotionally draining to ask questions like, 'What's the long term? What's the long term?'"Irving is due to be a free agent this upcoming offseason. He’s eligible to sign a two-year, $83 million extension during the season, or a four-year, $220.6 million deal in free agency. He could re-sign with Dallas for up to $272 million over five years, too.
Despite the baggage that comes with Irving, and the undoubted interest from others in the league in the coming months, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison doesn’t “see any risk involved” with bringing Irving in now.."I know what kind of person he is. I think anybody that's ever watched him play basketball knows the type of basketball player he is. So I don't see the risk involved. I actually see the risk in not doing the deal.
