ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[SleepingHero]

And assuming that if you even converse with him about a number lower than 47M, he'll instantly bolt -- really? To a Lakers team that will offer him 30M or so? That makes no sense.

This is Kyrie Irving we are talking about here. He is the definition of nonsensical. 

He literally left a team that orchestrated one of the greatest playoff comebacks of all time and won, where he hit the biggest shot of the series. He blew up not one, not two, but three championship contenders in their prime because he felt like it. 

To think that he wouldn't bolt at perceived disrespect by not offering him a max contract (something he did in February of this year) is folly.
