Irving, who was acquired by Dallas in 2023 from the Brooklyn Nets, is in the second season of his three-year, $120 million contract (player option for 2025-26 season). Now, the Mavericks face another massive financial decision this offseason regarding Kyrie Irving’s future.

The Dallas Mavericks continue to make strategic roster changes, showing interest in acquiring Ben Simmons, though financial constraints blocked the move. Despite this, their determination to build around Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving remains clear.

Since arriving in Dallas via trade from the Brooklyn Nets, Irving’s tenure has been anything but flawless. Initially acquired to pair with Dončić, the Mavericks knew it would take time to adjust — evidenced by their failure to make the playoffs in 2023.
