Kyrie Irving Remains Unavailable as LeBron James Delays Free‑Agency Decision

Kyrie Irving is under contract with the Dallas Mavericks and is not on the trade block. The Mavericks confirmed there have been no trade talks, telling interested teams—including the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons—that Irving is unavailable.

LeBron James is deliberately postponing his free‑agency decision, hoping a suitor can acquire either Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving before he signs. Sources said, “LeBron James is slow‑playing his decision to see if any of his suitors can find a way to land Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving,” but both stars are not expected to move, leaving James likely to proceed without them.
