Dallas Mavericks
Of course, the Dallas Mavericks have their own free agency drama to deal with. This team cannot afford to lose Kyrie Irving.
If they do, it could be a disaster. This team gave up valuable assets to land Irving at this year’s deadline. If they lose him, how will they sell Doncic on their future?
With that in mind, let’s assume the Mavericks can retain Irving. Even in that event, their current group didn’t exactly look competitive this season. The Mavericks will still have upgrades to make.
Middleton would be a substantial one. This won’t be easy. Dallas would have to clear considerably cap space to bring both Irving and Middleton in.
