Dallas intends to sign again Kiri Irving after trading Luka Doncic to Lakers – Basketball Insiders

Mavericks General Nico Harrison shocked the NBA when he traded Luka Doncic to La Lakers. He told the media that the team had a greater chance of winning without Donic.

Harrison claims that “Defense Wins Championships” and that’s why they traded for Anthony Davis. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic helped carry the NBA finals team last season. With the onion’s Super-Max contract no longer in the photo, Mavericks intend to sign Kiri Irving.

In 2022-23, Kiri Irving’s relationship with the networks struck a break. Before the deadline, Brooklyn traded Irving to Maverix. Kiri has played in Dallas for the last two seasons and a half. He has played and starts in the 117 regular season and 22 playoffs. Luca Donic had missed the last 19 Mavericks games due to a calf injury. This is allowed for Kiri Irving to take full control of the crime.

Now that Doncic is trading to Lakers, Irving will be responsible for maintaining the crime. In 2024-25, Irving started in 39 games for Dallas and missed 11 due to injury. Back back problems are a constant problem with the All-Star security. Kiri is an average (24.3) points, (4.6) struggles, (4.8) assists and (1.2) steals on a game. This extra -season, Dallas has several ways that Irving can sign.

The 32-year-old stayed one year on his four-year deal with MAVS. If he joined this last year, Irving could sign a four -year extension worth up to $ 266.7 million. Kiri Irving can also give up the last year of his deal and sign a five -year deal worth $ 313.9 million. This is a difference of over $ 47 million. If Dallas gives an Irving deal with $ 300+, they will look like fools that they do not give that money to Luca Doncic. What will their front office do?
