Except Kyrie Irving isn't really a PG.  He is more of an undersized shooting guard with elite secondary creation.  He has always been his most comfortable playing next an on ball PG with size (LeBron, Luka).  

Agree there.

But you can't play a small PG next to him in the lineup.  AKA Darius Garland. There were reports the Mavs had no interest in Trae Young because "they are committed to Kyrie Irving at PG."

So it's tough to say what the Mavs are thinking. We can opine on what we want to happen but that's secondary to what the reality is. (which we don't know)
