Kyrie Irving trade: Nets trading PG to Mavericks, per report

The Brooklyn Nets are trading PG Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, per Shams Charania. The Mavericks are sending PG Spencer Dinwiddie, F Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-rouund pick and multiple second-round picks back to the Nets in the deal, per Shams. Irving had requested a trade from Brooklyn earlier in the week, per reports. The NBA Trade Deadline is set for this Thursday. Irving was prepared to sit out for the Nets until a deal was struck. That must have given Brooklyn a sense of urgency to get a deal done and move on from the point guard.

The Mavericks were among a few top teams who were linked to Irving. Dallas was joined by the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers among rumored teams in on the point guard. Irving will now be teamed up with PG Luka Doncic in an attempt to win a championship. This isn't the first time we've seen owner Mark Cuban make a big splash like this in an attempt to win a title.
