Kyrie Irving’s highlighted but limited Free Agency
Even though the media has hyped up and highlighted Kyrie Irving’s Free Agency on levels. The reality is a bit different. As the market for Uncle Drew is limited and not many teams he’ll like to roll with have enough cap space to sign him into the system. The Dallas Mavericks are trying their best to re-sign him. But he’s taking all his time and has decided to conduct Free Agency meetings with teams this offseason.
The reason behind those meetings is him trying to find a team where he can retire. ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne recently reported that Kyrie Irving is in search of a place where he can spend the rest of his career and feel at home. The window for him to reunite with LeBron James now looks closed. The front office of the Lakers is showing no interest in acquiring him and is focused on re-signing their core.
But still, Kyrie Irving is a part of many rumors and is desired by many teams. Also, he’s about to talk with the Phoenix Suns in his Free Agency, and in a matter of some weeks, he’ll be announcing his decision regarding his career ahead.
