not sure if he's the piece Luka needs

Also Dinwiddie going back to the Nets lol. Nets -> Wizards -> Mavs -> Nets

 

[Troy McClure]

The Mavs dumped Porzingis to make it easier to take a second swing at a superstar, and they were able to do so.

Fans and Luka demand the Mavs do something. They did something.

They traded for Kyrie Irving, a dude who truly believes whatever he sees on YouTube. But he is really good at basketball if you catch him on a day when he wants to try. The Mavs had no hope with the roster as it was. They may still have no hope, but this at least gives them something else to try.

Poor Luka

Wasting his career in Dallas

 

[BB88]

Atleast he didn’t get to go to Lakers


Mavs have been a total 1 man team

 

[Terry Yake]

surprised phoenix didn't give them a better offer. it'll be interesting to see how luka and kyrie fit

markieff morris is going to dallas as well

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Seems like a really good fit offensively for Dallas.

Not entirely sure who's going to guard anybody, but at least my team won't be a one man unit anymore!

 

[Seattle King]

Kyrie wont have any problems in Dallas, Texas. The population agrees entirely with all of the malarkey Irving buys into. Makes sense for him from a career standpoint.

Not sure how itll pan out but Luka needed a second star and on paper he gets it. Very surprised at the price and how no one else could top it.

Irving doesn't care about "joining forces" with anybody, otherwise he wouldn't have left Durant. It's all about the contract extension. I'd be shocked if the Mavs gave him an extension and I'll wait for Kyrie's reaction then. This is nowhere near over yet.

 

[thefutures]

Wouldn't have brought this guy near Doncic, so we'll see how this goes

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Feels like the type of move we look back on in a few years as the main reason why Luka left the Mavericks.

Lakers are pretty low on assets and would have had to get rid of Westbrook

Wonder if Phoenix will try taking another swing at Durant at some point.

Sounds like...

Wow that was quick. Wonder what the Suns would offer. Ayton is now eligible to be traded.

If the Nets trade for Ayton that would allow them to trade Claxton, who could get them a decent return.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So Nets go from being contender in open East to likely being out of playoffs if they trade Durant as well

NBA is a joke in how they have let players hold team's hostage and continually let them ruin franchises.

Someday an NBA owner is going to learn to say no again

It’s amazing. It’s not like the Nets are a tanking team that’s looking to unload some veteran talent. They’re 32-20! All because one star wants a change of scenery (again).

Can’t believe that at one point, the Nets had Harden, Kyrie and KD on the roster. In terms of talent, that trio was better than the Heatles.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I like that Brooklyn insisted on the '29 pick. Doncic is a free agent in 2027. Mavericks took a huge gamble here, if this doesn't work I don't see how they assemble a good enough supporting cast around Luka.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

I know this is an Irving thread but if the Nets look to trade KD i'd love to see the Warriors somehow get that deal done just for the story

 

[Romang67]

Is the NBA the league with the most willingness to trade draft picks in far off years? It just seems bizarre that a GM would agree to a trade where one of the main pieces is a draft pick that might be valuable 5-6 years from now.
