Kyrie Irving will reportedly meet with the Suns among other teams when NBA free agency begins on Friday, according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.
The news comes as Phoenix seeks to build a super team that includes Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and its most recent acquisition in Bradley Beal. However, with the addition of Beal, the possibility of signing Irving could be difficult due to the league’s salary cap and collective bargaining agreement.
Currently, the Suns can only offer Irving a veteran minimum contract because of the franchise’s financial obligations tied into Durant, Beal, Booker and Ayton. However, Phoenix could acquire the eight-time All-Star through a sign-and-trade deal. Doing so would reunite Irving and Durant, who were teammates with the Nets until both were dealt ahead of the trade deadline last season.
