Proposed NBA Trade Has Mavericks Flip Kyrie Irving for 2 Star Guards, Draft Picks

A proposed four-team trade scenario would send Kyrie Irving to the Miami Heat in a deal built around the Mavericks’ continued rebuild. The concept comes after ESPN’s Tim MacMahon suggested Dallas may eventually explore the market for the 34-year-old, even as the team appears excited about Irving’s return for now. In the proposed framework, Miami receives Kyrie Irving, Scottie Pippen Jr. and Trey Lyles, while Dallas receives Donte DiVincenzo, Davion Mitchell and two first-round picks in 2029 (via MIA, MIN). The Wolves would get P.J. Washington, Dru Smith and Myron Gardner, and the Grizzlies would receive Nikola Jovic. Reportedly, Dallas is currently adamant about keeping Irving.
