Dallas Mavericks Receive: F/C Anthony Davis
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Kyrie Irving
Here, we’re seeing two superstars whose value is declining being exchanged for one another.
Irving’s decline in trade value is owed to obvious reasons. His general unpredictability has sullied his reputation around the league. Unfortunately, Davis’ value is declining for reasons he can’t control.
Mostly, we’re talking about his health. Davis’ play can be inconsistent as well. This is not a player who will fetch the Lakers the type of return they sent out to acquire Davis in the first place.
Still, reuniting Irving and James could be worth the cost. They should make for a more dynamic offensive pairing.

Meanwhile, for Dallas, this is much better than watching Irving walk away without receiving anything for him. Even if he is going to join his old friend.
