NBA insider Jake Fischer is convinced Irving will be a key trade candidate for many teams before the deadline. "I still believe that Kyrie Irving is someone we are going to be talking about through the February 11th trade deadline as a trade target for rival teams," Fischer said on Bleacher Report. "He just does not fit the timeline; he is almost a decade and a half older than Cooper Flagg. He himself is going into the end of a very lucrative contract where he wants to get paid."

If DAL is playing well, everyone is healthy and they are around 0.500 w/l then I think Kyrie is untradeable. He's still a strong contributor, vocal team leader, has Dusty's confidence, doesn't seem to be blocking anyone's development and a must-see player, so I think DAL will be more about how to give him an extension rather than trade him away.
