The Dallas Mavericks have a big decision to make in regards to Kyrie Irving's contract this offseason. The All-Star point guard may decline his player option to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but a torn ACL changed things for the former No. 1 overall pick.

The Dallas Mavericks are hoping to have a smooth offseason, even with the Luka Doncic trade backlash still continuing. Now, the Mavericks are going to have to try to put that behind them and focus on the players they have on the team,

After the latest PR debacle to come out of Dallas in the wake of the Luka Dončić trade (this time Nico Harrison continuing to trip over himself at every public turn to justify the deal), the Mavericks are perhaps trying to counter the negative vibes engulfing their franchise by throwing a little bit of good news out into the ether.
