Kyrie Irving (30) expressed his feelings about playing with Luka Doncic (23, Slovenia).
Reporter Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported on the morning of the 6th (Korean time), “Brooklyn has reached an agreement with the Dallas Mavericks about the Irving trade.” In addition, reporter Haynes borrowed the words of Irving, saying, “I am happy to join forces with Doncic. I look forward to it,” he said.
Accordingly, Irving was put on the same uniform as Doncic and stood together on the pitch. Doncic is a player who is active as the ace of Dallas both in name and reality, and Irving is an excellent ball handler and scorer, and is called the best second option in the league.
The chemistry between the two is expected to be very good, as Irving hopes. With Irving joining, Dallas will build a starting lineup that leads to Doncic, Irving, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dwight Powell and Christian Wood.
However, from the perspective of Dallas fans, Irving is a player who does not know what will happen in the future, so he is not in a situation where he can be happy. Here, Dallas plans to give up Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, the 2029 first round pick, and the 2027/29 second round pick to Brooklyn in exchange for Irving.
Dinwiddie overlaps with Irving, and Finney-Smith is a big wing type player in Brooklyn. Plus, Finney-Smith was a very important player for Dallas, with no replacement resources.
Despite these obstacles, Dallas eventually proceeded to trade Irving. That means Dallas has confidence in Doncic. Therefore, I am looking forward to seeing how far I can go with the combination of Doncic and Irving this season. 안전놀이터
Previously, Dallas made it to the Western Conference Finals last season thanks to the performances of Doncic and Jalen Brunson. Currently, Dallas is 28-26 (0.519), sixth in the West, with Brunson gone.
Meanwhile, Dallas added that Irving could be put in in the game against the LA Clippers on the 9th.
