Just a day after asking for a trade, Kyrie Irving got his wish and was sent to Dallas to join Luka Doncic. The Mavericks put together a package that consisted of Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, an unprotected 2029 first rounder and two second round picks and secured the services of the talented point guard.
Whether this turns out to be a good deal for either team remains to be seen. The potential of a Doncic-Irving offense is off the charts, but the defense will almost surely be an issue and Irving’s track record off the court and in the locker room has been disastrous in the past few seasons.
