Eight-time NBA All-Star point guard and one-time champion Kyrie Irving will return to the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $126 million contract, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The Mavericks traded Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 first-round draft pick and two second-round picks for Irving this past February, following the 31-year-old's most recent trade request.
Dallas outscored opponents by 4.2 points per 100 possessions in 444 minutes with Irving and Doncic sharing the floor, registering an offensive rating better than the league's most efficient scoring team.The Mavericks began to address the talent drain on draft night Dallas entered free agency with 10 players under team control, including Lively, Prosper and recent draftees Josh Green and Jaden Hardy. Irving was the Mavericks' top priority. They also face decisions on several more players, notably Christian Wood and Dwight Powell. General manager Nico Harrison has the non-taxpayer midlevel exception, bi-annual exception and minimum salaries to upgrade shooting and defense.
