Kyrie Irving’s time in Dallas hasn’t gone how Mark Cuban would have hoped.
But Cuban, speaking ahead of the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, said re-signing Irving this summer is the team’s top priority.Irving was traded to Dallas after a tumultuous and controversial stint with the Brooklyn Nets — which included his COVID-19 vaccine saga, and theDallas is 7-12 in the 19 games that Irving has played this season.
Irving is in the final year of a four-year, $136 million deal he first signed with the Nets. He is eligible for a four-year, $220.6 million deal in free agency this summer, or he could re-sign with the Mavericks for up to $272 million over five years. Irving hasn’t said whether he wants to stay in Dallas or move on, but rather that he wanted to wait until the season ended to talk about his future. Still, Cuban feels good about his chances of getting Irving on a new deal.
