The Brooklyn Nets are trading Kyrie Irving, their disgruntled guard, to the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and multiple draft picks. Full story
This deal has a chance to reshape the Western Conference standings headed into the final 10 weeks of the season. Several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, had interest in Irving.
The Mavericks have been searching for the right players to put alongside MVP candidate Luka Doncic, and they are taking a chance with Irving. Dallas is 28-26 and in sixth place in the West, just a game behind the fourth-place Los Angeles Clippers. But the Mavs are also just a game ahead of 10th-place New Orleans.
Irving was suspended by Brooklyn earlier this season for his promotion of an anti-Semitic movie and his initial refusal to apologize. The team said at the time he was unfit to be part of the franchise. Irving wanted to remain with the Nets, but according to Bleacher Report, Irving and his representation were unhappy with Brooklyn’s offer.
