However, despite a poor showing, the management is expected to offer the star a lucrative contract for the next season. According to Mike Curtis of ‘The Dallas Morning News,’ Irving might still be in line to sign a $272 million contract for 5 years.
“I think the goal is to keep Kyrie in Dallas as long as they can… And I think before the injury, he was definitely on track for a max extension and I think that’s still the case,” reported Curtis.
