Pistons staffers said to like Kyrie Irving as Cunningham fit

ESPN's Vincent Goodwill reports multiple Pistons staffers are fond of Kyrie Irving's shot creation and malleability alongside star teammates. Irving is entering a possible contract year in Dallas after missing all of last season with a torn ACL.

Detroit, fresh off the East's best regular-season record, could look to pair him with Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren if the Mavericks shop him before the deadline.
