Look, a Kyrie Irving-Luka Doncic duo may not be at the top of the Dallas Mavericks’ priority list this offseason. Or it better not be. But there are a few things to consider here. First, the Mavs don’t have many options this offseason.

One thing that they must do is try to add a second start next to Luka. If Dallas would rather re-sign Jalen Brunson, I get it. That’s probably better than trying to work through the headache that Kyrie could be. But there’s no question that Kyrie is an upgrade over Brunson.

And if the Mavs believe that they can reel him in a bit, a Kyrie and Luka duo would be extremely fun to see work together. Kyrie is one of the most dynamic scorers in the league and he’s proven that time and time again throughout his career.

If the Mavs get desperate to add more star power, Kyrie could absolutely be in play for the team this offseason.
