The
Dallas Mavericks are remaking their franchise around young star Cooper Flagg, which naturally leads to questions about how Kyrie Irving fits into that mix.
"Multiple contenders are keeping an eye on Irving right now," ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Wednesday's NBA Today (2:38 mark). "He's got a guaranteed year left on his deal and then he's got a player option, so that does give him some leverage on his future. He's 34 years old, he's a championship player in this league, but he's got a level of equity in Dallas. We know he's put a lot of equity into Flagg, his development this year. So [team president] Masai Ujiri has hinted, 'We want to see these two guys [together],' but what's the vision and how much can they show Irving that [they] want him to be a part of this?"
