 What's the word y'all another instant reaction one take no edits carry Irvin is a Dallas Maverick Let me let me say that one more time Kyrie Irvin is a Dallas Maverick See something told me not to leave the house today. It's Sunday. We usually go grocery shopping for the week We be running errands and stuff. I was like, you know what? Let me chill Let me tune into the Charlotte horn is plague is your lendo magic on a Sunday afternoon a game that nobody's watching other than the People in the arena I was wanted I'm one of the people on the outside that was watching cuz I just had a feeling I think it was gonna be Kyrie Irvin is fast, but I feel that something in the NBA was gonna fall and the biggest domino has fall as fail as fail Kyrie Irvin is a is a Dallas Maverick. That is so crazy to say alright. Here we go If you don't know here's the trade package. It is the Brooklyn Nets trading Kyrie Irvin's for Spencer Then what he doing finish Smith a first round picking multiple seconds off rip I was like, whoa, that's insane and happen Luke and Kyrie. How this gonna look We don't talk about that and then the tweet came out six minutes after that Saying that the Dallas Mavericks are sending a 2029 unprotected 2029 Cuban we couldn't add a top foe I'm saying we but you give us a lottery a top eight a one a one now You probably think okay, we had Luca Donchich for fall of this time We can't even say for sure the way players are moving across the country to play for different teams now I'm not saying Lucas that type do I'm just saying 2029 is so unpredictable and two years ago was unpredictable last year was unpredictable 2029 unprotected is crazy Especially considering this could be a half a season plus postseason rental and I'm also looking that my green screen is tripping So let me let me do that again. No takes look at that now the green in the background is still green You see Jason Tatum right here on that speaker. That's Jason Tatum. If you didn't know shooting a jump shot 2029 protect this crazy Especially considering this could be now now you can argue that you don't pull off this trade unless you're giving Kyrie What he wants because obviously the reason Carrie Irvin wanted out was because of the contract stuff We're not trading for him and we know he won't this amount of money and that's the reason he was willing to walk So if Mark Cuban and must think okay, we're gonna trade for him We're gonna give him this money, but now I'm thinking about it even if you gave him the four year 200 million He's looking for that steal ending before 2029 So this is this is a swing Will it be worth it? I'm the only time will tell the new cycle is so crazy because we found out that Carrie Irvin requested trade I don't know we're on Friday And again, I'm saying I don't know we're because as long as Carrie Irvin and Kevin Aran had been healthy I think this the stat was they were 20 and four in the season something along those lines 24 on the season so when they had been playing together They had been damn good damn near unstoppable and they looked like they were a contender and then Kevin Aran got injured or whatever He's gonna be back soon So you thought that there was nothing going on Carrie Irvin and things have been going great for like two months or so And he requested a trade and in that he said either you move me before the deadline or I'm gonna walk it free He basically saying hey you do what you got to do but no matter what I'm leaving And it also came out from Chris Hayes that that of course it was the contract things that led to this But he did say that if you don't move me before the deadline I'll honor my contract I'll continue to play in that left a little bit of wiggle room for Joe side company Because because because whenever hoping they were damn good. So maybe there's a world We don't find the purpose perfect trade partner and we're willing to let Carrie Irvin Just play out the season may we do something some damage in the postseason and then if you want to walk so be it Nope this morning came out that the brickling that said you sit your ass at the crib Kyrie We don't find a partner and it ended up being the Dallas Mavericks The Dallas Mavericks also says six days ago that they were willing to trade Dora Finney Smith for a star level player And we laughed I laughed Dora Finney Smith like he's a really good role player though It's like that. You know I'm saying catch a shoe. He's gonna be he's gonna be on the perimeter He's a big wing that guards on the perimeter like he does a lot of stuff But willing to give him up for a star player and it happened they did they literally did it They literally did it mark Cuban and I've been guilty this right I'm a guilty of this saying that the Dallas Mavericks need to get Lucas something because you never really know What's gonna happen? You have to take advantage when you have us a talent like Luca Dodge You have to do everything in your power to build a team around them That's competent enough to get before championship. They were just in the conference finals last year, which is a duh, but Like that that can't be the way we think oh We were there last year we get to maybe go on another run with the same roster. Absolutely not So anytime look at Don just had a game where he had 26 points and nobody else in the team had double digits I was tweeting about it at a tweet that said mark Cuban, please like do something do something help this man out He got 57 points and especially they would he got 12. He's a second lead in score And they did it they got Kyrie Irvin And now we can start thinking about the fit between Kyrie Irvin and Luka Donch as far as on-court stuff I don't think it's gonna be that much of a problem because as long as we are just talking about the basketball Kyrie Irvin alone side whether it be Kevin Arant. Kyrie Irvin alone side LeBron James He's a guy that LeBron James specifically is the one we should probably focus on because LeBron James is definitely more ball dominant than Kevin Arant is Kyrie Irvin has been able to be successful So Kyrie Irvin is not a dude that needs the ball in his hands to be the ultimate version of himself I just looked it up before I hit record in this video He's shooting 42% on three point two three point catch and shoot attempts to season like Kyrie Irvin We know he can he can do his thing without needing the ball And of course Luka Donch is a guy that uses and needs the ball a lot But this is also gonna go into allowing Luka to not have to have the ball all the time because Kyrie Irvin is that nice Strictly talking about the basketball. It is definitely going to hurt to lose guys like didn't we it's going to hurt to lose Dough because now that perimeter got some got a hole in his first perimeter defense Josh Green got to get to work and Josh Green a 6-8 with wingspan That's crazy. You know what I'm saying, but it's the price you have to pay in order to get a guy like Kyrie Irvin Now again, I think that's 2029 first round pick unprotected. It's kind of crazy But but like having to give up quality quality players in this trade is a necessity So now you're running out lineups or Kyrie Irvin. You have Luka Donch it's gonna have Christian Wood eventually You hope that Maxi Clebe is back like I think they're they're hoping That that Maxi Clebe comes back and he's extremely healthy And he's the Maxi Clebe we saw in the last year title run or conference finals run because they're gonna need that They're gonna need his protection They're gonna need his his versatility on defense because losing Dora Finney Smith is ridiculous Now, I wouldn't be surprised if this is not the end of the work for the Dallas Mavericks I don't think they're about to go crazy because again, he's gave up 2029 I said you can't go much crazier than that. You just trade it for Kyrie Irvin You can't get much crazier than that But I do think there's there have some holes now where they'll probably try to feel using some stuff And I just don't know exactly what that is, but I'm excited to see the Dallas Mavericks take a risk Even if that risk is I'm sorry. I can't convince myself that 2029 was worth throwing to the story. Yeah, I can't convince it I'm sure I was gonna say who you who you were competing against you're probably competing against one of the Lakers Maybe the Lakers were willing to throw in 2027 and they were like no We ride we want something further down the line and now the Dallas Mavericks they gave me 2029 I don't know but from the Brooklyn Nets perspective again We mentioned in our video It's not a tray where you're looking for crazy draft capital again I think you got some you did get crazy draft capital in 2029 But you wanted to get people in that can help you right now Spencer Damwon he's back in Brooklyn Spencer Damwon is having a really decent season and it just adds another ball handle as a team since you're giving up a ball Handling Kyrie Irvin and Dora Finney Smith on a wing is dope because right now that they've been a decent defense And a lot of that is is Nicholas Klaxon holding it down who should get some all defensive votes It's Kevin Arant playing the best defense of his career when he's healthy and then Ben Simmons don't score the ball Don't do shit offensively, but defensively He still locked in and stuff and now you add dough to that and dough has the two-way thing like a guy like Joe Harris He's a great shooter He ain't got the defensive side of the ball You know I'm saying Seth Curry's one of the best shoes in basketball But he ain't got the defensive side of the ball and dough can add like slightly above average three-point shooting when he's doing his thing And and really good defense. So I really do like this trade for what it's worth For the Brooklyn Nets because again We knew that the value one gonna be some of the stuff that y'all was sent sent to me Which was Zach Levine being the one traded or or the value I saw some other things like us CJ McCullum and stuff like that you running and get that tier player the the tier underneath the current all-star tier But you got some solid role plays was exactly what you need for Kevin now Kevin in this without no stars Kevin is in this with his own team with no stars around him anymore And we'll see what happens come playoff time because I do think once Kevin comes back this team is still competent enough to Hold one of the top six spots. It could be wrong But the team is deep you know I'm saying the team is good and I would love for them to get like a backup center in this one Maybe I mean maybe didn't want to take to the white pals contract or something because you are running some day Ron Sharp who will go out there in the case to get you a 14 rebound game But he also let Al Horford shoot a wide open three without even turn this hit the notice the ball hit bit inbound Like that's the type of stuff you can get from day Ron Sharp And there I think Brooklyn S fans are probably feeling pretty good right now after cam Tom has just showed that he can randomly drop you a 44 and now you got dough and Spencer Then what he I'm sure that there's gonna be the what is it the five stages of grief or whatever You're gonna go through that Brooklyn And I think Dallas is about to go through a different couple stages with Carrie Irvin on the team And I'm still waiting again this trade just happened. I follow a bunch of mass fans I'm I need to go through the tweets I need to go watch some of their videos because I don't know exactly how they're gonna feel about this Of course Carrie Irvin again as a talent As far as talent on the market, there was no bigger name. So you did that You know I'm saying you got into the ball handle for the Dodgers so he could take a goddamn break everyone So how and you got another dude that can be a carry Irvin is a killer, bro Fourth quarter scorn. I think he still leaves the league. So you got two Bonafide closers in your lineup and don't get a lot better than that. It's a stone You know I'm saying it don't get a lot better than that even if you had to give up 2020. I still camp Lakers quickly Rob blink of fun with it It had to get too complicated. It had to get too complicated They didn't have the role players that the Brooklyn Nets were looking for this is my speculation Of course, I ain't my sources and my two my two sources one and on any of these organizations So I would assume that that the the Lakers of course don't have the role players that the Brooklyn Nets were looking for So they were calling around to the Spurs They were calling around to the jazz trying to get them to come in and help them out get Carrie Irvin And in this one you see they didn't the Dallas mavericks didn't need any help sweeten the pot a little bit with a 2020 Not okay. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. That's all about 2020 now But they sweeten the pot a little bit, but they didn't need any help This is a trait that they might have negotiated for a couple seconds. It was like I you got it Those one of the better role players in basketball dorm a semester. Dimity is one of the better Secondary type ball handle type tubes and now he's basically going back to a primary ball handle in eyes in Brooklyn And the Lakers missed out Lakers missed out I mean even LeBron James was talking about it and his post-game interview LeBron James tweeted a crown in the eyes emoji Once he found out Carrie Irvin that requires of the trade He went to a post game interview and they asked him about it and he said that's the piece We need to get over the top and they failed to do it And it felt inevitable, you know, we made a video where you're talking about the potential teams that Lakers were number one I think I had the Mavs number two or number three I think they were number three because because the Clippers were number two another scene I missed out on an opportunity because they also have really quality role players They could have done similar things to what Dourifery Smith and Smith's identity, but they probably want thinking about giving up a 2029 You know, I'm saying so the trade has happened Let me know what you think Carrie Irvin is a Dallas Maverick We might revisit this in two days and have a different opinion, but again instant reacts, baby Leave a like subscribe subscribe to the enjoy basketball newsletter.
