Dallas Mavericks are desperate to put another shot creator alongside Luka Doncic and there is a report that suggests they reached out to the Brooklyn Nets about the availability of Kyrie Irving.

The Dallas Mavericks were among teams to reach out to the Nets about a trade involving Kyrie Irving, per Ian Begley of SNY. In those talks, Kristaps Porzingis was among the players that Dallas brought up.

However, there is renewed optimism that Kyrie will return to team activities at some point this season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported.

As for Porzingis, the 26-year-old forward is averaging 29.8 minutes with the Mavs, scoring 19.5 points a game while hitting 45 percent of his shots.

The Latvian forward has one more season in his lucrative deal with the Mavericks, while he can opt-in for a second one, with a 2023-24 player option worth $36 million. He’s making $31.65 million this season.
