Kyrie Irving’s addition as Luka Doncic’s co-star on the Mavericks resulted in disaster last season.

But all parties seemingly want to run it back.

The Mavericks re-signed Irving to a three-year deal worth $126 million on Friday, according to ESPN.

Earlier in the week, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski had reported that the options in free agency for the polarizing guard and Nets flop were “limited.” The three-year contract is particularly notable given how turbulent his previous tenures with the Nets, Celtics and Cavaliers were.

The Suns, Rockets and a reunion with LeBron James with the Lakers were rumored as possibilities for Irving, but it doesn’t appear any of those teams made serious offers.

The Nets traded Irving, 31, to the Mavericks in February after his reported request in a blockbuster deal along with Markieff Morris in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2027 second-round pick and 2029 first- and second-round picks.

It came just days before the Nets dealt Kevin Durant to the Suns ahead of the trade deadline to put an official end to a failed era that, along with James Harden, began with title expectations.

An eight-time All-Star, Irving missed two-thirds of the 2021-22 season due to his refusal to adhere to New York’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates and was suspended eight games without pay last season for promoting an anti-Semitic movie on Twitter. 

Prior to that, Irving had requested a trade from the Cavaliers a year after starring in the team’s 2015-16 championship run, and left Celtics in free agency after declaring his intention to stay.

“DA11AS [sic],” Irving tweeted Friday evening along with fingers crossed, infinity and heart emojis.

The Mavericks were in sixth place in the Western Conference at the time of the trade, hoping Irving would help elevate them into title contenders a year after they reached the conference finals and lost to the eventual champion Warriors. But without much of the depth they traded in the deal, the Mavericks disastrously sunk out of the playoff picture.

Dallas went just 9-18 following Irving’s debut. By the end of the regular season, the Mavericks sat Irving and Doncic in a blatant effort to tank (for which they were fined $750,000) into the top 10 of the draft and keep their top-10 protected pick. They finished 11th in the Western Conference, outside the play-in tournament.

Irving is the biggest name Doncic has played alongside in his five-year career, and the two struggled to coexist on the court together. They were booed by home fans repeatedly down the stretch of the season, and head coach Jason Kidd at one point ripped the team’s effort as “dogs–t.”

Doncic was emotional in various press conferences toward the end of the season as the team fell short of expectations.

“I thought we were going to be up there,” Doncic said in late March. “But we obviously aren’t, so it’s way different than I thought.”

A few days prior, Irving said: “It’s not the expectations I don’t think any of us had in that locker room after [I got] traded midseason.”

Clearly, however, the Mavericks believe the future will be different.

Irving’s agent and stepmother, Shetellia Riley Irving, became the first black woman to negotiate and complete an NBA contract with the deal.

“Big Shoutout to My Agent Shetellia Riley Irving and My business manager Drederick Irving, who did a great job throughout the whole entire process,” Irving tweeted. “Thank you A11EVEN MANAGEMENT FIRM.”
