Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie, F/C Maxi Kleber, G/F Josh Green, 2025 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – DAL)
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Kyrie Irving
In all likelihood, you’ve seen versions of this Dallas Mavericks deal elsewhere. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel here: we’re trying to identify viable Kyrie Irving trades.
Furthermore, Irving’s reputation for volatility makes him a difficult sell. As talented as he is, there are many teams in this league who would pass on the potential risk. With that said, the Dallas Mavericks may not be one of them.
After all, the Mavericks just lost Jalen Brunson in free agency after a trip to the Western Conference Finals. They’re desperate to land another ball-handler to pair with the dynamic Luka Doncic. If any team would opt to capitalize on a buy-low opportunity on Irving, it may be them.
As for the Nets, this package covers a lot of ground for them. If they’re thinking about the present, Dinwiddie makes up a portion of Irving’s playmaking. Meanwhile, Kleber is a versatile frontcourt defender who protects the rim and can survive in space.
