Bad Kyrie Irving News Sees New Miami Heat Point Guard Target

The Dallas Mavericks reportedly do not intend to trade veteran guard Kyrie Irving following a strong start alongside rookie Cooper Flagg. With Miami considered a top destination if Irving became available, Joey Haverford writes that the Heat may turn their attention to New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray. Reporting from Shamit Dua indicates that the Pelicans and Murray are seeking to find a trade resolution.

Haverford suggests Miami could construct an offer centered on Andrew Wiggins' contract to acquire Murray and provide playmaking alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. However, the writer notes Miami could alternately choose to wait out Irving's situation or rely on current guard Davion Mitchell.
