[The Athletic NBA] Kyrie Irving certainly has the right to leave in free agency. But the Mavericks don’t plan to assist any other team in acquiring him in a sign-and-trade, @tim_cato writes.

Which means the Mavs FO don’t want DLo and your other negative player.
Mavs FO will fuck this up somehow
What? Thought the Lakers would get him for D’Lo and some scrubs?
Id trade him straight up for AD if it came down to that, no other deal tho.
Good.
If this is a direct quote to Cato then Kyrie and the Lakers are obviously trying in the background.
Not sure how the Mavs plan to replace him with nothing if he does leave, and I damn sure wouldn’t say no to Ayton in an S&T if it came down to it.
Also, this is subtext that maybe we would be open to a sign-and-trade but it would be expensive for the other team to do it.
Shaping up to be another “lose a star PG for nothing” type of an off season if the Mavs are stubborn about this and Kyrie truly wants to go to LA.
If we lose Kyrie we can just sign someone with our 26 million dollars in cap space. It probably wont equate to what Kyrie can provide us but its better than D lo or Ayton.
I hope Nico and co have No-Kyrie backup plans A-Z.
I’m sure the rockets magic or pistons would help if needed
I’d rather let Kyrie walk and have significantly more cap space than take a shitty contract
I think the point is to offer him the biggest max of anyone and at that point maintain as much leverage as possible if it gets down to a sign and trade scenario. But it needs to be a worthwhile offer and not expiring spares the lakers don’t want.
