Kyrie Irving's market is "extremely limited, perhaps almost nil," ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported recently, but his coworker Ramona Shelburne reports that Irving will take free agent meetings with teams.
And earlier this week, Marc Stein reported that the Mavericks and Suns held advanced discussions on a trade that would have sent Ayton to Dallas in exchange for Tim Hardaway Jr., Richaun Holmes and JaVale McGee. However, the Suns balked at McGee's inclusion in the deal and talks stalled.
According to reports, the trade would have been completed had McGee been removed from the deal. But Dallas didn't want to hold onto McGee because doing so would have prevented them from utilizing the $12.4 million mid-level exception.
Shan, RJ and Bobby discussed the delicate nature of negotiations with Kyrie Irving and why the Mavs are making a mistake by not making the trade for Ayton.
