Until Thursday, we hadn’t heard Irving’s reasons for wanting to remain in Dallas.
“They were just looking forward to me having a peace of mind, just on the court and off the court,” he said of his family. “Had already dealt with enough the past two seasons, so they knew that I wanted a lot of that off my back and off my shoulders and feeling like I had to be Superman or I had to be perfect.Advertisement
Irving averaged 27 points and six assists in 20 games, but for all Mavericks fans knew at season’s end, he might have been an expensive, futile, short-term rental.Now, though, Dallas will have a full training camp and theoretically at least two seasons to maximize having the NBA’s most offensively dynamic backcourt.
Irving said that after he committed to remaining in Dallas, Mavericks management communicated with him through the summer about roster possibilities.“We have the pieces out there. We have some young guys that are incredibly active. We drafted well. And just to be included in that process felt good, being asked questions on what I thought and how the pieces would fit around. But also I’m not the centralized focus.”, one of the players Irving recommended? Yes, as a matter of fact.
