Kyrie Irving going nowhere?

Kyrie Irving may not be traded before the deadline, what with the Mavericks (7-5) looking better than expected and their 34-year-old point guard fitting in so well alongside their young franchise centerpiece, 19-year-old Cooper Flagg. Their blowout loss to Minnesota on Thursday night notwithstanding. All in all, I’d lean strongly toward Irving staying put at this point. Yet when you talk to rival teams about players who would truly change the playoff landscape if they were dealt, and who are widely expected to generate serious interest because of that belief, Irving still tops the list. Never mind that the Mavericks, and Irving for that matter, have shown no signs of wanting a split. Quite the opposite, in fact.
