The Kyrie Irving Trade Assures The Mavericks Will Have Another Seat At The Dealing Table Come The Off Season.

The Kyrie Irving Trade Assures The Mavericks Will Have Another Seat At The Dealing Table Come The Off Season. 

“Kyrie is probably the most misunderstood person in sports,” his father said.

The Dallas Mavericks Have Taken An Aggressive Stance About Building A Roster Suited For Their Prince Luka Doncic. Like Members Of The High Table From John Wick, The Mavericks Show Up To The Table Every Year To Deal; only The Mavs And Mark Cuban Deal At The Trade Deadline. One Of The Largest Business Hubs In North America, Anywhere Moves Are Available Dallas Has a Hand In The Game. Even When Mark Cuban Has Assert That His Team, The Mavs, won't Stoke The Flames Of Another Transaction, Their Name Comes Up. Their name Has to Come Up. With The Chance For The Mavs To Improve The Roster, To Not Act Would Show Poor Business Acumen And Open The Door For Justifiable Criticism. The Mavs have Made A Series Of Moves Even As The Deadline Quiets. Going back As Far As Trading For Doncic, Gilding Him With Non-Plus Stars. The Slovenian Proved He Met And Surpassed All The Expectations. This Season Luka Stand In The Midst Of one Of The Greatest Individual Seasons In Recent League History, Much Less His MVP Level Play. 

Luka'S averaging 33.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.2 assists. Only Two Season Ago, They Traded For Kristal Porzingis To Pair With Luka. When That Pairing Hit a Ceiling, The Mavs Traded Porzingis and His Contract Away To the Wizards For Spencer Dinwiddie And Davis Bertan And Their Contracts. By All accounts, The Mavericks Have Made Two Of The Four, Maybe Five, the Latest Blockbuster Trades After Acquiring Oft Controversial Kyrie Irving. Kryie's Tumultuous Winding Road Out Of Brooklyn ends Or Starts In Dallas. 

Some People Have To Strive And Work Towards Inspiring Controversy; Matter of Fact Controversy Gets Some People Paid. Jurors' Controversies are A Product Of Irving Taking To Contrarianism As A Product Of Life. "I'm not here to be divisive…." Irving Said, But He's A Creature Seething In Division Because Whether We Like It Or Otherwise, These are Divisive Times. 

He Fled A Good Gig In Cleveland To Mark Out His Own Way In Boston. Then He Committed and Uncommitted Theirs Before Taking Over In Brooklyn. If Things With The Nets We're Ever Quiet, Nobody Ever Reported The New Of The Calm. Injuries And Kevin Durant Long Feet Derailed The Nets First and Only One Effective Playoff Run As A Super Team. Like The Previous Brooklyn Super Team, This One Lasted Only A Flickering Moment In The Night Sky. 

Before The Nets Had A Chance To "Re-Assemble" From The Harden Trade Request Comes To Light, The Kyrie Irving COVID Vaccination Dilemma Constricts The Nets Roster Evaluation. Somehow The Dysfunctional Ben Simmons Looks "Full House-ish" Compared To Irving. When Most Of The World Look To Rebound l, Bounce Back From From A Pounding Pandemic(Including Myself), Irving Choose A Difficult Time To Take A Stance. The Man Who Left Lebron In The Kings Prime Looked Delusional And Immature, Maybe. I Never Disagreed With Irving's Stance And His Right To Take That Stance. 

The Issue With The Vaccine Always Seemed Like A New York Problem. 

If He Played Maybe A Few South In Philly, The Vaccine Wouldn't Factor Into His Availability. Irving To Assuage The Narrative Of Head Ache Player. A Privilege Basketball Prodigy Who Couldn't Get His Way. (a Karen Even).

The Nets Still Desired To Make The Marriage Work. Sean Marks Engaged Irving's Team About Contract Extension Multiple Times Throughout Irving's Four Year Tenure With The Team. Irving Served an eight Game Suspension After He Shared A Link To a Documentary Reported Laced With Anti-Semitic Redirect. He Initially Appeared Unresponsive To The Initial Backlash. Irving Offered Something Of A Comprehensive Explanation When The World Waited for a Redaction. 

His Name As Become A Media Buzz Word, A Punch Line even. 

Like A "Karen" He’s In The Cultural zeitgeist.

Irving Has Transformed—Not Personally But In The Eyes Of The Those Who Parse His Every Move. He’s No Longer An All-Basketball Wonder, Something Majestic For The Eyes To Behold At Work. He’s An Archetype, a Mannequin For A Disgruntled, Embattled Employee. Jemele Hill Of The Atlantic Purported Kyrie's actions, which Are Similar To Kanye Are A Reflection of the Broader Issue, "Black men have historically been villainised," So Vilifying And Branding Kyrie “As A Problem Child” A Denise The Menace, Only Perpetuate The Stigma For which He Young Hovering Himself Daily, The Stigma He's Trying To Resolve In His Own Soul, A Stigma That Exceeds Just Kyrie Irving. Black Men Are Searching for The Source Of The Miseducation, The Misidentification No One Can Use The Historical Vilification Of Black Men As An Excuse For Some Of Irving Public Gaffs. He Needs To Work On His Personal Awareness In The Same Trajectory As His Social And Global Awareness.

 But Irving Returned, and The Nets Had Their Best Streak As Assembled. On A 19 Game Stretch From The End Of November To The Beginning Of The New Year, The Nets Won 17 of 19 Games In 12 Straight(Irving Missed Two Of Those Games). 

The Winning Cooled The Frosty Relationships Between The Team and The Staff. 

Then Irving Requested a Trade. The Nets Are school In The Art Of Superstars Requesting Trades, They All Have. This Time Irving Click The "I Mean It" Button. The Nets Pulled Kyrie From The Lineup and Then Pull The Trigger On The Trade. One Of The Most Coveted Number One Picks Of His Generation Finds Himself On His Fourth. Throughout The Short Span Of Kyrie's Trade Demands, The Nets Initially Showed No Signs Of Letting Up On The SuperTeam. Irving As A Player.

He's That Girl--metaphorically, Of Course-- You're Supposed to Leave. Still, You Never Remember Or You Second Thoughts After you Talk Things Out. This Time Irving assured To everyone Involved No Discussion Would Over Ride His Decision. 

A Player Can Only Have Equal levels Of Controversy As Long As He's Equal Amount As Effective; that's Kyrie Irving. He's The Most Efficient One On One Player In The League. He's Averaging 27.1 Points Per Game, 5.1 Rebounds, and 5.3 Assists. Irving's Easily The Best Player Involved; he'll Replace The Talent Departed and Then Some. Still, Irving won't Bring EVERYTHING an Offense Needs. With Spencer Dinwiddie Headed Back To Brooklyn, His 41 Percent Three Point Shots Departs With Him. Players Don't Leave Those In Their Locker angling With Their Parking Pass When They Leave.  

How Will This Team Co-Exists? Kyrie Claims Hold To A Three-Point Shot, But That's Not the Aspect Of His Game That Strike Fear In The Hearts Of Opponents. He'll And Rule Everything 16-19 Foot And Beneath. The Mavs And Jason Kidd Have More Gravity To Work With On Offensive Sets. This New Option Improves The Rest Of The Team, From Jalen Green, To The Davis mentioned above, Bertans, Who Are Going To See More Open Looks And More Cuts To The Basket. Late Clock Situations Disappear In Irving Bags Of Trick As Irving Can Create His Own Shot At Will. He's Not A Blow By Guys. He's A Great Steady Control And Traction. More Porsche GT Than Maserati. He’s Always Had A Mark On His Back For His Defensive Liability. According To the Website, Fivethirtyeight.com Irving Has Generated A “net-negative on that end for all but one year of his career” But No Ones Here To Watch Or Ponder On Kyrie, Luka, Or The Mavs Play Defense. He’s No Different Than Lebron, Dame Lillard, Steph Curry Or His New Partner In Crime Luka Doncic, Players Who Are Shielded From Defensive Scrutiny Thanks To Their Offsetting Offensive Production.

How Will This New Mavs Union Play Out?

The Mavs Are Going To Struggle With Perimeter Defense. They May Make Another Move To Secure a Sturdier Force In The Paint, But On The Perimeter, Thing Are Going To Get Nuclear Bad. That's Kyrie's MO; that's Well Documented. Another Way For The Mavs To Ameliorate This Problem is to Score. 

The Mavs Have To Over Run Opponents With Offensive Efficiency. The Nets Were A "Terrible" Defensive Team Two Years Ago(Bottom Eight)When They Almost Beat The Bucks In Seven. Offensively, We're Past The Point Of Wondering How The Pairing Of Two Possession Dominant Players Work Together. In Our High Paced World, Team Produce Enough Possession And Then Some. Long Gone Are The Days Of Team Fighting To Put 80 Plus Or More. Maybe Luka's Assist Drop With The Less Shot Productive But Stress(Defensive stress) Productive Irving. Kyrie Plays Dribble Penetration Game Like Maybe Few Before Him. He Stalks The Rim Like A Panther Just Hunting His Spots. 

I Want To Be Places We're I'm celebrated Not Tolerated." Irving Said In His Press Meetings. We All Can Agree With That On All Levels. "I Need Healthy Boundaries," he Continued. "My Focus I Here" Irving Still Looks Like That Kid With A Dream Like He Said Of His Time Entering His Saga With The Nets. Irving Explicitly Stated That He was Happy To Be In Dallas, If Not Better, Stated That He was Happy To Get Out Of Brooklyn. He Didnt Mention Any Long Projections Or Contract Details. 

 I Wonder When Irving Will Get A new Shoe Deal? Will He Patch Things Up With Nike? Unlikely After Things Turned Toxic Between The Two Parties. Just Like Things Became Toxic In Brooklyn, "I felt disrespected and my talent -- I work extremely hard at what I do. No one ever talks about my work ethic." That Perception Develops In WorkSpaces When Employer's s Begin To Look Pass The Humanity Of The Employees. The Product, The Employee Produces, Begins To Become A Right In The Eyes Of The organization. Irving Also Stated That He Wished Spent Time Investigating The Inner Workings of The NEts Front Office Instead Of The Mesmerising Ideal Of The Nets Emblem. A Franchise Irving Grew Up Cheering For In His Youth.

A Fresh Start MAy Surface Around The Corner Om The Sneaker Front. 

Does Irving Make The Mavs A Top Five Team In The West, Much Less The Association? I Can't Say. The Mavs Are General Seen As A "In The Mix," Just Like Last Year's Squad. Beyond Contention How Will The Mavs Handle The Off-season With Kyrie Irving. You Never Want To Enter A Contract. Stand Off With This Guy. When He Plays For You, You Play His Game, and He Plays For Keeps. Does Offering, Gifting A 31-Year Kyrie Irving A 4 200 Plus Million Dollar Contract Make Business Sense.  

He's Only Played 143 Regular Season Games In His Four Year Brooklyn Tenure. You Don't Need A C Or Better In Pre Calculus Like Me To Know That's less Than Two Seasons' Worth Of Games(Even Consider The Truncated Pandemic Season). If The Maverick finds Apprehension To Open Their Check Book For Irving, Who Will? Both LA Made Trade Advances For Irving, And Neither Are Shy(Except The Lakers Recently) About Making Splash Moves Despite Spiraling Controversy. 

The Mavs Have Improved In The Immediate, The Now But They've Open Themselves Up For Scrutiny, Censure Even If Things With Kyrie Fly Out Of Bounds As History Tell Us Things With Kyrie Are Always Tentative.  

After Four Years Of Dealing and Negotiations, The Nets Are With KD, And A Suddenly Incendiary Cam Thomas. 

How The Nets Circumnavigate This Portion Of Their History Will Tell More About The Team's Leadership and Moxie More Than Any Year Prior. Kevin Durant, One Of The League All Time Great assassins, Like John Wick Level, Will Give The Nets A Shot At The Playoffs. In The East First round, Home Look Plausible, But Contention Left The Room. 

Kd Alone Won't Give The Nets Enough Fire Power To Barrel Through Boston Or Philly Or Even The Knick Even. Alone He's Never Enough, and That's Proven. The Nets Have Assets Strangely, But with The Growing Sense Reported And Understood Around The League, Neighboring Team Would Rather Pooch KD from The Nets AS opposed To Helping Them Win And Build A Contender Around Him. Star Caliber Players Are Not Coming available Without The Nets Traveling Down That 2012-13 Road Again. 

The Nets Are Going To Pull A Haul For KD If They Trade Him, Which seems Like A Matter Of Time Than If. Kevin Durant HAs made Any Comment On Any Of These matters. No Mention Of The Kryie Trade, Not A Whisper About The Nets Future. He's Convalescencing An MCL Injury, And Injured Players Arent Required to Speak To Media.
