(New York, NY) — Kyrie Irving may be on the move again this offseason.

The free agent point guard said on social media Wednesday that he is “in no rush to make a decision” on where he will continue his playing career.

“Stop mentioning me on Twitter. All y’all fan bases. It is still the…Conference Finals…Can you please leave me the f**k out of this…Y’all got people at my dinner table discussing what my free agency plans are …I see all y’all mentions, I said it… I’m just excited as y’all are. But you gotta chill…I love y’all ”

Irving has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, among other teams, as a potential splash free agent signing this summer.

Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report indicated that Dallas was under the impression that Irving would be with the franchise for longer than a half-season.

“I hear they had a handshake deal before the trade [with the Nets],” one source told Pincus. “And Kyrie wouldn’t have said yes to anything less than the max.”

The 31-year-old played 20 games for the Dallas Mavericks last season after a midseason trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Irving averaged 27 points, five rebounds and six assists during his short stint with Dallas.

Until Irving makes his decision, the basketball world will continue to highly speculate every step the HOF talent takes.
