That looks like one heck of a deal. I know Chris Paul is up there, and likely to break down by playoff time. But in my opinion, that would have been the deal to take.

With Durant still there you know they are prioritising players over picks. 3 years of a washed Paul is a real cap killer for a wasted roster spot if there is no opt out. Brooklyn still has playoff aspirations

Looks like that Dallas pick isn’t going to be mid first round anymore!

Not a bad deal for both sides…

Ha ..
Dallas will get same poison as Cavs & Celtics the curse of Kyrie Irving. Them NBA teams with Irving ain't winning NO title. *write it 🤔

👏
kudos! to Knickerbockers brass for not BITING On rumors Kyrie wanting Ny Knickerbockers as team.
Kyrie irving = Poison Ivy 😈

As Knicks fan I am as well as entire forum board
" Good Riddens K.Irving "🤪

As saying goes "Don't let the doorknob hit you where the dog should've bit you !"
Knickerbockers are winners 🏆 too for staying away from Mr. Kyrie 'Poison ivy' Irving 😎

This needed to be said

He is as talented as any player in the game, and he will end up with at least one title, which he played a major roll achieving it, but I want guys on my team who are willing to go to war, and put the team above their personal issues.

When I was a HS coach I had a kid who was one of the top performers in the previous year...He was in line to be a city champion. He also happened to have the best SAT score on the team. I had even given him an old computer of mine because he didn't have one.

Nevertheless, he had a problem getting to one of his classes & failed that class, taking him off the team. We would've been undefeated and in a better position in the brackets for the team tournament, in which we placed 2nd. The entire team shunned him after that happened. He tried to get into the individual tournament at the end of the year, but I wouldn't let him.

Reminds me a bit of Kyrie. I was involved in sports for most of my life as a participant or coach, & I don't understand how that kid of mine and Kyrie, both playing in a team sport, didn't do what had to be done to help their team.

Maybe Doncic will keep him on the straight and narrow...maybe the lure of a monster contract will, but Irving is not a player I'd want on the Knicks.

The saga has already started (for Dallas).

KYRIE IRVING HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN RULED OUT FOR TONIGHT'S DALLAS @ UTAH GAME

And this time?

With a "sore calf".

🤣😭😂😂🤣🤔😭😅🤣😂

this will be home run or strike out -- thinking and wishing it's the latter

I'm a Jason Kidd fan though, and somehow i think he figures this out

There is no way this is going to work out for Dallas.

I think we stand pat till someone like Jalen Brown is available.

Don’t make stupid moves

This is a guy that let chandler go for nothing and broke up a championship team.

He could have signed Jalen Brunson for $55MM and balked. Literally went to that conference finals and let someone that was perfect for Luka go for nothing.

He could have probably got Obi or a 1st with Fournier in a sign and trade for Brunson but didn’t want to deal.

He’s a great owner but Dallas has missed a lot lately. This is not going to work.

Lets also not forget why fans are "upset" with him....

"Said the world is flat"

"Refused the COVID shot"

"posted a picture of a movie that is supposed to be anti-Semitic, from the worlds largest online retail store, whose CEO is Jewish"

I'm pretty positive on this deal for both teams. I think Kyrie's schtick will fly better in Texas. He'd probably get good press for refusing the vax vs what happened in NY. Good for the NBA too if Luka's teams have a chance.

Nets really rolled the dice on the Simmons trade. It looks like the worst contract in the league now and the Nets are going to have to really thread the needle to stay competitive.
