According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks are likely to receive trade interest from teams regarding veteran guard Kyrie Irving. This doesn’t come as a complete shock given their stance of wanting to rebuild internally and start new to build around the future of Cooper Flagg.

With Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz now leading the front office, they’ve decided Flagg is definitely their future and want a new head coach to develop him as well. Tuesday afternoon, fans learned from the organization that them and Jason Kidd parted ways.

Ujiri has expressed excitement seeing Irving and Flagg play together next season, so nothing internally is alarming the future of the 34-year-old regarding his relationship with Dallas.

Right now, Irving is not on the trade block. It’s not even reported that they’ll entertain these offers.

Last season, the one-time champion missed all 82 games due to the torn ACL suffered in early March of 2025.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks and Kyrie Irving have come together to agree on a new extension to keep the veteran guard in Dallas for the foreseeable future.

To make this deal work, Irving needed to decline his $43 million player option for next season. This new contract does not include an option.

The 33-year-old signed a three-year, $119 million extension. Many assume this will be one of the last contracts Irving will sign before he retires.

Before suffering his ACL tear, Charania reported that Irving was expected to make around $50-$60 million per season. Unfortunately, the injury has forced Irving into accepting less per year. He’s estimated to make $39.6 million per season.

By opting out and lowering his salary for the following season, this will allow the Mavericks to use their $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks will be without their second superstar due to him suffering a bulging disk in his back.

Dallas does have optimism that Kyrie Irving can have a precise return date after a couple of days of treatment.

Right now, Irving is set to miss 1-2 weeks due to this new injury.

Initially, the 32-year-old was listed with a lumbar sprain in his back; that was his listed injury as to why he is missing Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

In 30 games this season, Irving averages 24.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists.
