Mavericks rumors: Kyrie Irving trade suitors won’t like this ‘very, very happy’ update

The Dallas Mavericks have another reason to feel confident about Kyrie Irving’s future, even as trade speculation continues surrounding the veteran guard. Irving reportedly enjoys playing alongside Cooper Flagg, whose growing confidence as a ball handler has made life easier for the former NBA champion. According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, Irving is comfortable with his current situation in Dallas. Flagg’s ability to initiate the offense has helped reduce the pressure on Irving to handle every possession. “I talked to Kyrie a little bit then tonight, just walking out,” MacMahon said in comments circulated by NBABase.
