Is Kyrie Irving hinting at his exit from the Dallas Mavericks? The trade saga around the 6’2 point guard and Mark Cuban‘s magnum opus has kept the fans thrilled so far. Irving has just played 20 games for the Mavericks and is a free agent now. Considering how those 20 games went, fans believe this is the end of his tenure with the 2011 champions. On the other hand, billionaire owner Cuban made some positive claims on the 8-time All-Star’s return to the team. However now, it looks like the fans were right.
A week after turning Cuban into a laughing stock, the 31-year-old’s claims on his latest desire has got the red flag.??

64-year-old Cuban lost most of his core for Kyrie Irving. The Mavericks’ performance last season with the veteran point guard was indeed not promising. However, Irving joined right before the end of the season when Luka Doncic and Co. were already under the pressure of making it to the postseason. With his 4th team now, looks like the 2016 champion is not ready to give another shot with the Mavs.?
Nonetheless, Cuban has his money on the Olympic Gold medalist. In a recent interview, the billionaire said, “Hopefully he [Irving] wants to come back.”
In addition, the 64-year-old also spoke about the mistake he did with former Mavericks star Jalen Brunson.
While all these claims gave the fans a good laugh, Irving’s new desire made it even more funnier.?
