Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie, F Dorrian Finney-Smith, 2025 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – DAL)
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Kyrie Irving
Any team acquiring Kyrie Irving is taking on a risk. For that reason, the Brooklyn Nets are unlikely to get straight-up value for his services.
With that in mind, the team landing Irving would have to ask themselves the following question – how badly do we need what Irving does on the court?
The Dallas Mavericks stand out as a team who’d consider taking the risk. They could badly use a secondary ball-handler alongside Luka Doncic. Between the two, the Mavericks would boast the most offensively talented backcourt in the NBA.
On paper, the fit makes sense too. Irving’s ability to space the floor means that he’ll help to maximize the space around Doncic when he’s on the ball. In fact, we’ve seen Irving alongside a ball-dominant playmaker before.
