This should be fairly welcome news for folks hoping Kyrie signs here long term, I'd think. No chance at cap space in LA now, right?
Hell, if the plan (or fallback plan) is to move Irving to LAL via sign and trade, I'd say Russell is for sure in that package now. There's a small chance, I suppose, that they targeted him because they think Dallas might like him.
He is expiring and Beasley has a team option. They can get Kyrie if that's what both parties want. Which is why if the rest of this season goes well, Mark will feel tremendous pressure to offer 4yrs 200 mill. Kyrie has proven he will use whatever leverage necessary to get paid.
