After weeks of rumors, Kyrie Irving has finally not dragged to decide on his future. Uncle Drew prolongs in Dallas for 3 years and 126 million dollars. The Irving – Doncic duo will be able to continue working together.
While the insiders announced meetings with the Rockets or the Suns for the start of the Free Agency, Kyrie Irving has extended well on the Dallas side. The player wanted a long-term contract and an XXL salary, he almost got everything he wanted. 126 million over 3 years is a little less than the max but it’s still a very nice contract (42 million on average). The All-Star leader also retains some leeway since the third year of his deal is a player option according to Shams Charania and The Athletic. It will therefore be able to test the market again in 2025.
Free agent Kyrie Irving has agreed to a three-year, $126 million contract to return to the Dallas Mavericks, with a player option in third season, @TheAthletic @Stadium learned.

After getting him back at the trade deadline, Dallas couldn’t afford to lose Kyrie Irving. Not after sacrificing several players to bring him back, not after failing Jalen Brunson the summer before. The message would have been terrible for Luka Doncic. Irving present at the Mavs for at least two years, the franchise can now work a little more calmly (hoping that Irving keeps quiet) on how to surround this duo with monster potential.
The two players have only had a handful of games to really learn to live together and they will now have all the time in the world to work on their chemistry on the pitch. We are now waiting to find out who will come to help them. We know that Dallas is still looking for reinforcements inside but also defensive profiles on the outside. The departure of Dorian Finney-Smith having never been filled. Nico Harrison still has work to do but Kyrie’s extension is already a good big file validated. We blow a blow on the side of the American Airlines Center.
