There’s a lot here — asked Paul George about facing the Kyrie/Luka Mavericks as well as point guard situation.
On Mavs, PG says it’s going to be a challenge on paper, but also points out loss of Dorian Finney-Smith.
On Clips, PG says it’s his job to make everyone’s job easier. pic.twitter.com/jipfPc0ufY12:07 AM

Jazz are gonna lose to a Mavs team missing Luka Doncic, Davis Bertans, Maxi Kleber, not yet with Kyrie Irving or Markieff Morris, and also sans Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie as a result of the trade. Utah will drop back below .500 at 27-28. – 11:22 PM

The Phoenix Suns appear to be open for big trades with reports that they made a serious offer for Kyrie Irving.
Armed with all their own first-round picks and plenty of moveable salaries, their roster has a good chance to look very different by the end of this week. pic.twitter.com/pLTlKceEYU11:30 AM

With Kyrie Irving off the board assuming he extends/re-signs with Dallas, the cap space path becomes even less fruitful for the Lakers.
The over the cap option would likely put them in the repeater tax next season, but gives them more avenues to strengthen the 2023-24 roster. pic.twitter.com/eZDAkPtxja11:16 AM

An odd take I see is: the media wants this to fail.
Voicing concerns and echoing the reasons so many wouldn’t have made a deal for Kyrie, noting the risks, and addressing how this could go poorly, which is on a lot of people’s minds, isn’t actively rooting against him – 10:21 AM

It certainly is interesting that Dallas takes this Kyrie risk as part of a plan to mitigate Luka asking out when Durant asked out from Kyrie 7 months ago. A very high risk high reward play by the Mavericks – 10:15 AM

I’ve been asked a lot about Dallas and what happens if Kyrie Irving walks this summer:
Mavs can very easily create about $24M in cap space. If they were to waive and stretch a player or two or three, or salary-dump them in a trade, Dallas can get to well-north of $30M in space. – 9:52 AM

More on this storyline

Fred Katz: NYC Mayor Eric Adams was asked in an interview w Spectrum News 1 this morning if he would’ve traded Kyrie Irving if Irving were a city hall employee. “I will find the team that beats us the most and then send him to that team because we would start beating that team,” Adams said. -via Twitter @FredKatz / February 7, 2023
