Kyrie Irving has emerged as a potential trade candidate, with the Houston Rockets and Miami Heat viewed as two early suitors, according to Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer. Rival NBA executives are reportedly skeptical that the 34-year-old guard will finish the 2026-27 season with the Dallas Mavericks following his recovery from a torn ACL.
