• Fred VanVleet, Tyrese Haliburton, and Jerami Grant signed some of the biggest deals
• Kyrie Irving returned to the Dallas Mavericks, while Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, and Kyle Kuzma returned to their teams on new deals

Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, and Kyle Kuzma were some of the big stars who returned to their teams as free agency opened.

After weeks of anticipation, Irving re-signed with the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $126 million deal, which has a player option in the third season. The veteran guard joined the Mavericks in February, and there were doubts among Mavs fans that he could sign with another team.

According to Shams Charania, the deal was negotiated by Irving's stepmother Shetellia Riley Irving, who became the first black woman to negotiate and close an NBA contract.
