NBA rumors: Theo Pinson on Kyrie Irving in Dallas: 'He's playing free and happy'

“They have something,” Pinson said. “I think Kyrie was one of the best superstars for Luka because he’s so good off the ball. Having Kyrie Irving on the second side of a play is dangerous and a luxury to have. “You can just tell the happiness.

With that being said, Hield is a proven shooter in this league. Nurse will certainly give him another look. Now, it’s just about understanding what the team needs at the moment. “I think that it’s obviously not easy for him,” said Nurse on Friday. “I’ve said to you guys I really like him. He loves to play. It’s killing him not to be out there, etc. and that is the conversation. I gotta say to him ‘Listen, I have to—my job is to make decisions that’s best for the team.’”
