Kyrie Irving is still on track for a max extension from the Dallas Mavericks, per @MikeACurtis2


"The goal is to keep Kyrie in Dallas as long as they can. Before the injury, he was definitely on track for a max extension. I think that's still the case."

Okay, that would be the next step of stupid - didn’t know there were any steps left. 
It should definitely be for a much cheaper deal than if he wasn’t injured, because we lose one (counting this year it‘s two) of his few prime seasons left. And maybe all of them if he loses a step or two with him being in his mid thirties and coming back from a major injury - which wouldn’t be surprising at all.
