As NBA Free Agency prepares to open Friday at 6:00 p.m. ET, Kyrie Irving's services will be up for grabs.

"The market for Kyrie Irving, legitimate places that he would leave Dallas for that makes sense, that are available to him, it’s extremely limited. Perhaps almost nil," ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said Wednesday on "SportsCenter." 

"I think the full expectation is that he returns in Dallas. The question will be, what kind of a deal does he go back on? Howe many years on a contract? I don’t think the money will be as much of an issue as how many full-guaranteed years are there for Kyrie Irving. I think that’s where the negotiation is gonna be between he and the Mavericks."
