Kyrie's got friends and connections all over the league. If you want to be real about it, the extension was probably already agreed upon under the table before the trade even happened to begin with. Don't really care personally. FA was super chill when Mavs FA has always been a clusterfuck in the past. His biggest issue was missing games due to covid but that's not a problem anymore and was never an issue in Texas anyways. Agreed that all that matters is the all-nba talent that can go off for 50+ on any given night and likely at least once in a 7 game series on a reasonable contract. Never easy to find playmakers with elite handles.
