MAVERICKS’ POINT GUARD PUZZLE: Check out Kyrie Irving’s Next In Line

June 23, 2025 Chukz Blog 0

Starting this week, the Dallas Mavericks will enter the most crucial phase of the NBA offseason: free agency and the draft.

The Mavericks have already decided how they will use the first overall pick in the draft; they will select Cooper Flagg. Regarding the Mavs’ free agency outlook, though, things are a bit more unclear.

There are a few possible enhancements that the squad could make before the season starts, and they are necessary.

Tim MacMahon, an ESPN insider, investigated four point guard free agents for the Mavericks.

“Finding a replacement for Irving who can transition into a key reserve role upon his return will be one priority for Mavs GM Nico Harrison,” MacMahon wrote.

“Dennis Schroder, Malcolm Brogdon, Tyus Jones and Chris Paul are among the possibilities if Dallas fills that void via free agency.

The Mavs also hope to work out a new deal for Irving, who has a decision to make about his $44 million player option.”

Irving will miss the first half of the season due to his ruptured ACL, thus the Mavs will need to find a replacement regardless of whether he opts into his deal or not.
It would be beneficial for Dallas to get a point guard because Irving might not return until January 2026. Starting at 5 p.m. CT on Monday, June 30, free agency will officially start.
