Recently, Mavericks shareholder Mark Cuban talked about ESPN's famous reporter Shams in the podcast program "Mixed Signals".
He said: "Shams is my good friend. He helped a lot when we traded Kyrie (Irving). The same was true when we renewed Kyrie because he had a very good relationship with Kyrie's agent."
According to previous reports by famous reporter Shams, Kyrie Irving refused to execute a $43 million player contract in the 2025-26 season and signed a three-year $119 million contract with the Mavericks. This contract includes player options for the 2027-28 season.
