Kyrie Irving signing deal with Anta?
Entering this offseason, Kyrie Irving was the biggest basketball free agent and sneaker free agent. However, it appears that Irving has found his next sneaker sponsor. Irving wore the Anta Shock Wave Pro 5 basketball shoes at his annual summer basketball camp. Anta is a Chinese sports equipment company founded in 1991. The brand currently sponsors seven athletes in the NBA. Most notably, Klay Thompson and Gordon Hayward, who both have signature sneakers with the brand. While no official announcement has been made, Irving teased the upcoming deal on Instagram Live just over two weeks ago. Irving said, “I will be signing my new shoe deal very, very soon. I won’t even call it a shoe deal. I’m about to blow this out the water. I’m so excited about it.”

Kyrie Irving is not signing with the Rockets. The Mavs have no choice but to offer him the max because of what they gave up to get him and because they have no means to replace him. If he doesn’t wind up back in Dallas for whatever reason he’ll just go to LA to play with LeBron – 3:37 PM

I consider myself to be cold and calculating when it comes to team building.
…And no part of me wants Kyrie Irving in a Rockets uniform. Keep him away from the team.
He’s already too close to the city for my liking if he resigns in Dallas. – 1:07 PM

The Cavs came back from 3-1 because they found something that worked and was repeatable (LeBron/Kyrie PnR)…
What’s the Heat version of that? Not sure they have one. – 1:48 PM

I have also heard that the Rockets, in the event that they are unable to lure Harden away from Philadelphia and back to Houston, plan to weigh a run at Dallas’ Kyrie Irving. The Mavericks remain the league’s only known team with definitive interest in signing the mercurial Irving next month, but league sources say that the Rockets have been increasingly cited as a team that could (stress: could) join the bidding if Harden elects to stay with the 76ers. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 11, 2023
