[Landon Thomas] Kyrie Irving: “I think their realistic view is that when I came here, that this was going to be a growing process. This was for the long term and this is for something that’s bigger than ourselves and we can’t just be a championship team over night especially me coming here…

    CONTINUED: …I’ve wrapped my head around that aspect of it. I’m at peace with it. It doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on this season or any of my teammates are but we know where we realistically are. Our destiny is in other teams hands losing games so we just have to control what we can.”

    Sounds positive towards him staying this summer.

  2. KaleAdditional776

    Wow this is a big quote. Hopefully he doesn’t pull a Boston lol really hope he stays.

  3. Infinite-Station-524

    I like where his head is at.

    We need to foster sustainable growth; it’s going to start off rocky, and improve slowly but it’ll be worth it.

    I’m gonna need that “Kyrie Irving is re-signing with the Dallas Mavericks ” tweet to drop this July please

  5. dimmadomedimmadome

    God, thank you Kyrie you absolute prince.

  6. c_msea

    From that quote? He’s clearly staying and has always thought so since landing in Dallas

  7. Cambocant

    We got our two superstars. The ball is in Nico’s court.

  8. djzener

    Is he gonna stay?! Please man our aspirations next year depend on that and drafting Wembanyama

  9. Lurking10169

    It’s almost like we have a professional front office who wouldn’t jeopardize the franchise for a half season tryout?! Who would have thought? He was always re-upping in Dallas.

  10. MjordanSLO23

    We need healthy Luka, solid center and thats it then

  11. StormTheTrooper

    Keeping Kyrie and adding a top-10 rookie is the best case scenario for us. Draft a big wing to replace Green’s role, Green is ready to replace Doe, Hardy can take over as lead scorer off the bench and Kyrie is a legit offensive nightmare.

    We will still lack a legit center, but this trade will work even better than trading Doe to the Jazz for a FRP if we end up keeping our pick in this future draft (to DRAFT a player, not to trade for one FYI).

  13. desirox

    Wow this quote is serious. You never know with Kyrie so we have to stay prepared mentally but it could very well mean we’re ready to go next year. Get a good center, another defensive wing and a new coach and I really do think we could be dangerous

  14. jennyisafriend

    If he stays it’ll be cause of Kidd. Remember that.

  15. Yesboi227

    Resign and trade him for jaylen brown in a 3 way team trade. Cause kyrue ain’t going to Boston 😂

  16. tedcruzrileycurry

    This is all Jason Kidd’s fault!

    If Kyrie had a coach like Brad Stevens, he would be a totally different player and lead his team to a championship.

  19. cautious-opulence

    This team will be elite when Luka is not the leading rebounder

  20. Calliesdad20

    Because kyrie is a cancer to any team . Let him walk and see what dumb team wants to pay this drama Queen full of abhorrent beliefs .
    There won’t be teams lining up to commit huge money / long term to kyrie

  22. Calliesdad20

    This isn’t a skill competition, this is a team that being cohesive , drama free is important

  23. kshep9

    Great quote from him. Gg go next. Y’all doomers are funny though.

  24. Smarq

    With these comments, here’s a hypothetical; We resign Kyrie but only if Kidd stays. Who takes that deal?

  25. Jack_Bryant

    This is not something I anticipated happening, but I’ve pretty much agreed with everything Kyrie has said since joining the team. I hope he reups with us.

  26. Powpowpowowowow

    As weird as this sounds, this makes me much happier. Feeling like Kyrie will stay long term I mean shit. That makes our window WIDE OPEN. Free agency? Who the fuck wouldn’t want to come play with Luka and Kyrie? That is like, basketball heaven. Kyrie was the unknown and if he stays around we will fill the glaring holes, we have young talent, and we will compete for the next 3-5 years easy.

  28. OpeningStuff23

    Kyrie said he wanted to stay long term on the Cavs, Celtics and Nets lol. Nothing he says has any merit.

  29. labarbatron

    I love Kai and I really hope he stays and then we overhaul the rest of the roster

  30. Legal_Math4070

    Celtics fan here. I am so sorry you have to deal with Kyrie. You all deserve better

  32. aeiou-y

    He definitely taking max contract and staying. What’s not to love?

  33. Andrew0409

    Oh no. The last few teams he said he wanted to stay at….
