Well that will largely depend on how the Kyrie extension talks are going. Kyrie has been a model citizen for the last two years. There has also not been much potential for conflict either.  If he wants something like 200/4 guaranteed, he should be on the way out. Something like Simons/Avdija with the Lakers paying the tab with two 1sts saves us a lot of headaches.

Want to know why the Mavs will give Kyrie practically any extension number he wants?




Besides, his last contract number surprised the hell out of me. Kyrie basically gave the Mavs a market price and didn’t ask for an arm and a leg when he had literally all the leverage to leave and force his way anywhere (despite barely any team having a lot of space).

That alone makes me hopeful that Kyrie isn’t trying to mess up cap numbers as long as he’s paid fair. He’s well worth his contract currently, and I’d be happy giving him another 3/120 deal that pays him until he’s 36. Heck I’d even go 3/140.
