Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

IMO, what Kyrie is bringing right now goes beyond the stat sheet. He's turned into a really likeable veteran who has seen the elephant. He is an important part of the current team's offense, but he doesn't have to carry it every possession. He's genuinely excited about the young guys successes; not just Coop but others like Sasser and Clayton as well. I mean, how many 15 year vets get off the bench to celebrate any effort by a 2-way player? He's leading the effort to build that type of culture and cCamaraderie that will be key to this teams success this season and beyond. I'm not sure he's going anywhere unless he indicates a desire to move.

I'd be fine if Kyrie retired a Mav as he's been a wonderful, is still incredible to watch, and he, along with May, are pumping confidence into the youngsters.  I just don't know if he wants a shot at another championship as I don't think that our timeline and his lines up in that regard.  He's our best shot at refilling the cupboard, but I'd also turn down the best offer if it was somewhere he didn't want to go.
