On Friday night, a league executive texted me asking this question “What team is going to be desperate enough to trade for Kyrie to try and save their season/jobs?”
The answer is the Dallas Mavericks.
On Sunday, the Athletic first reported (and ESPN quickly confirmed) the Mavericks agreed to trade Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, a first-round pick and two second-round picks in exchange for Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris.
The Mavericks have made a gamble to try and save their season (28-26 at the time of writing) and get Luka Doncic the help he reportedly desired.
