Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

I’m reading a lot of hand-wringing over the need to replace Kyrie during the first part of the season.

Why?

Is this a .500 team without him? And a .600 team with him?

So let’s say you can acquire a kyrie-equivalent player for the first 60 games. You win 36 games instead of 30.

How much is that worth?

That player won't go away after Kyrie comes back. 

Even with a 100% Kyrie, I don't think the Mavs have enough playmaking at guard to be considered a contender.
