The Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a blockbuster trade, sending eight-time NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, and a package of draft picks. Irving is a controversial figure in the NBA, but is still an eight-time All-Star and one of the most talented point guards in the league. The Mavericks are hoping that Irving can help the team reach the playoffs for the first time since 2015-16 and join a talented core of players in Dallas, including Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, and Tim Hardaway Jr.
