Since parting ways with former head coach Jason Kidd, many teams have started monitoring<\/a> the future of former Duke guard Kyrie Irving<\/a>. Coming off a serious knee injury at age 34, many expect the Mavericks to flip him to a contender for future draft capital. In a recent mock trade<\/a> proposed by ESPN, they proposed that Irving would be sent to Detroit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In return, the Mavericks would receive bruiser Isaiah Stewart<\/a>, former Michigan guard Caris LeVert<\/a>, Ron Holland and Detroit’s 2026 first-round pick (No. 21 overall). This would give the Mavericks an important trio of role players and three 2026 first-round picks to build around Cooper Flagg<\/a> with, as Dallas<\/a> currently holds the No. 9 and No. 30 selections.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Detroit would pair Cade Cunningham<\/a> with a capable scorer and a former NBA champion as the Pistons<\/a> aim to redeem themselves after a disappointing second-round exit during the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n
