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

[KillerLeft]

I think a Kyrie trade becomes more likely if you trade AD anyway, regardless if a player like young is brought in.   I love Kyrie. Love watching him play for my team. I absolutely want him on this team. But honestly why keep him if we're tradiing AD and going directly with Flagg's timeline as a 19 year old?

I have had similar thoughts/questions, basically since this "trade AD" topic came up. It wouldn't take much to talk me into it, particularly in a world where AD is already gone, but to this point the messaging from the Mavs seems to be solidly in the "we're moving forward with Kyrie" vein. Things can change, obviously, but I've kind of gotten the sense that they view Kyrie as a Maverick. Like, "retire here" style. I could be off on that, but that's the sense I've gotten recently.
