A… legendary reunion is looking for Kyrie Irving!
According to a number of American publications, the great guard spoke with his old teammate, LeBron Jameswishing to know if the “king” would like to go to Dallas Mavericks!
At the given moment, Irving has been released by the Texas team and is looking for the next station of his career as an unrestricted free agent. However, he is apparently willing to sign a new contract with the Mavericks if they can also attract LeBron James in Dallas.
The “king”, on the other hand, is bound by contract with them Los Angeles Lakers until 2025. This means that only by trade could he go to the Mavericks. Nevertheless, if the LeBron wishes to move to Texas and requests it from the management of the LA team, he will hardly meet a negative attitude.
However, in practice such a deal would be very difficult to do, as the new CBA (collective labor agreement) to be signed in the summer is designed to prevent teams from being able to have three players on super-max contracts in total . This means that in order to build a big-3 with Doncic, Irving and LeBron James, one of the first two would have to take a significant pay cut in order to accommodate the “king” contract.
