We’re just over a month away from the start of NBA free agency, where Kyrie Irving is set to be one of the best players available on the open market. The 31-year-old’s late trade to the Dallas Mavericks may not have gone the way anyone envisioned, but the organization also isn’t ready to move on after just a 20-game experiment.

The Mavericks are expected to do everything in their power to retain the eight-time All-Star, and they’re not even thinking about working with the point guard to find a sign-and-trade partner that would allow them to at least salvage some value before potentially losing him for nothing in free agency.

It’s a key issue, with the Los Angeles Lakers and likely several other teams hoping to position themselves to contend for Irving’s services this summer. Yet, as Tim Cato of The Athletic reports, the Mavericks “don’t plan to assist” any team in a sign-and-trade for Irving this offseason.
