Plenty of people had something to say about Kyrie Irving’s new deal with the Dallas Mavericks. Irving and the Mavs agreed on a three-year, $126 million deal about an hour after free agency began Friday night. It’s a favorable contract for both parties, but not everyone likes it.
Boston Celtics media and Celtics superfan Bill Simmons were quick to dismiss the deal and disparage Irving’s character. Bostonians have long disliked Irving since he parted ways with the Celtics after two seasons in 2019. Not one to sit back and take it, Irving clapped back on Twitter.
