The first bombshell transfer of the 2022-2023 NBA season has dropped. A few hours ago the request for his departure Kyrie Irving of brooklyn nets and the New York franchise was quick to grant his wish: this Sunday, according to multiple reports, Irving was traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
What does Brooklyn get in return for Irving? Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddiea selection of 1st Round of the 2029 Draft (unprotected) and two 2nd Round picks (2027 and 2029). In addition, the Nets also send Markieff Morris to Dallas.

In this way, Dallas adds to a second superstar playing with Luka Doncicin a movement that apparently has its own dangers to all of Irving’s controversial history, especially off the field. The glass half full is that if all goes well, the Mavericks leave a mid-table spot in the West to become serious candidatein a conference that right now appears to be wide open for the race.
Likewise, beyond the potential non-basketball issues that usually surround Irving, the movement also awakens Mavericks sports questions. The Texans will certainly continue to have an elite offense, but they lose their best defensive piece (Finney-Smith) from a set that was already ranked 24th in this area. Young people like players Josh Green or a Reggie Bullock from the 2022-2023 offseason, they will have to take a step forward to cover the loss of Finney-Smith on the perimeter.
This is worth remembering Irving will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this campaign, although there is always the option that Dallas link extension (they can do it for a maximum of two years) or who already have some guarantee of continuity by Kyrie… knowing the danger, with a such a volatile personality like the one born in Melbourne.
On the Brooklyn side, the transfer is a clear step back to strictly sportslosing a player top 15 like Irving and replacing him with a good player like Finney-Smith and a scorer like Dinwiddie (recently with the Nets). Perhaps the biggest prize of the exchange will go through the 2029 Unprotected Option PlanEven if Doncic stays in Dallas until then, it’s hard to imagine the Texans slipping to the bottom of the West standings.
With Durant injured, no Kyrie and a ring-denied Ben Simmons, There will be days of tremendous challenges ahead for Brooklyn, especially when it comes to finding reliable ways to score. Meanwhile, one thing is clear: this superteam project featuring KD, Irving and James Harden will go down in history as one of The loudest explosions ever seen in NBA history.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
