Brooklyn Nets trading Kyrie Irving to Mark Cuban’s Dallas Mavericks: reports
ESPN and Bleacher Report were reporting Sunday that the Brooklyn Nets are trading Irving, 30, to the Dallas Mavericks, while the Nets will receive Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie, as well as a first-round pick and multiple second-round picks, citing NBA league sources.
He ended up forfeiting more than $13 million of his Nets salary for refusing to get vaccinated in 2021, according to data from Spotrac.Irving was also suspended without pay for several games last fall after he promoted a movie that contained antisemitic themes on his Twitter feed, and then refused to issue an apology or “unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs,” the Nets said at the time.
Irving opted into the final season of his Nets deal in the summer, but reportedly requested a trade on Friday, before missing Saturday’s game against the Washington Wizards over a calf injury.
