If the Detroit Pistons<\/a> or Miami Heat<\/a> intend to make a trade for future Hall of Famer Kyrie Irving<\/a> during next season\u2019s NBA trade deadline, a new report offers fresh details on the expected cost.<\/p>\n

This has been another wild offseason in the NBA, as quite a few stars changed locations via the trade market. Elite talent like Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>, Jaylen Brown<\/a>, LaMelo Ball<\/a>, and Kawhi Leonard<\/a> were all moved this summer. One name that popped up in several trade rumors but did not change location is Irving.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Mavericks<\/a> guard missed all of last season to recover from a torn ACL he suffered midway through the previous campaign. Because of his resume as a nine-time All-Star and one-time champion, it\u2019s understandable why some teams would take the risk on him when the value of the 34-year-old with balky knees is at a low.<\/p>\n

However, new Mavs President Masai Ujiri has turned away all phone calls because he wants to see how Irving plays with the new face of their franchise, 2025-26 Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg<\/a>. But he also knows that if Irving returns and looks pretty close to the superstar before his season-ending injury, he could get far more back in a potential trade with the Pistons and Heat \u2014 two clubs linked to an Irving trade this summer.<\/p>\n

Kyrie Irving could cost Detroit Pistons & Miami Heat a 1st round pick and MORE<\/p>\n

But what would a deal cost any team serious about an Irving trade early next year? Well, a Western Conference executive gave Heavy\u2019s Sean Deveney new insight on what the price will likely be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he comes back and he is scoring 24, 25 points (per game), then you will have teams willing to give up a first-round pick for him. Maybe more, maybe a young player, too. But with his injury history, I don\u2019t think you give up more than one first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond the risk of taking an aging player who has had injury woes during his career, Deveney notes that Irving has a $42 million player option after next season<\/a>. A lot of contending teams would hope he opts out to take a new multi-year deal for less annually. Which means agreeing to a handshake deal with a mercurial individual.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Irving, playing close to his peak levels, is a star who can make a huge difference. NBA fans just saw it a few years ago when he was on the Mavericks team that reached the Finals in 2024.<\/p>\n
