The Dallas Mavericks want Kyrie Irving back for the long-term.
That much is now clear with the All-Star set to enter free agency this summer.
According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, the team plans to re-sign Irving this offseason despite the team’s struggles.
“The Mavs still plan to re-sign Kyrie despite team’s recent struggles, per @ChrisBHaynes. Irving is eligible for an extension but will go to free agency instead.”
NBA fans reacted to the news on social media.

The Mavericks acquired Irving from the Brooklyn Nets just before the NBA trade deadline for two players, a first-round pick and two future second-round picks.
The Mavericks have not played well as a team since acquiring Irving, sitting outside the Play-In Tournament race with a 37-42 record in the Western Conference.
Still, Irving has played well, averaging 26.7 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.1 rebounds this season in 19 games with the team.
