Kyrie Irving and the reason he could cause an earthquake in the NBA

The Mavs's point guard will have to make a crucial career decision at the end of the season, which could lead him to Free Agency.

The project that was supposed to lead him to an NBA championship has fallen apart, but he is demonstrating great maturity and professionalism in all his statements. Kyrie Irving wants to keep competing and show that he can lead the Dallas Mavericks to very high levels of success. However, what happens at the end of the season could be greatly affected by Doncic's departure.

At 32 years old, Kyrie Irving no longer has time to waste and has embraced his role as the second star of any NBA franchise. It's not entirely clear whether his role is that of a key player or second fiddle in the current Mavs setup, but it seems unlikely that they can contend for the championship this season. This could lead him to turn down his Player Option of 43 million dollars for the next season, entering Free Agency in search of a multi-year contract that could mean a change of scenery for him.

Speculation is already swirling about possible destinations, with Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves seemingly the frontrunners, but any team wanting to sign him must be able to afford 176 million over three years. Only an exceptional end to the season by the Dallas Mavericks could retain a Kyrie Irving who wants to continue increasing his value and show that he has a lot to offer in today's NBA.
