Contentious Nets-Kyrie Irving’s saga finally ends with a Mavs risky trade

The tumultuous Kyrie Irving era in Brooklyn finally ended Sunday as the Nets sent the disgruntled star to Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and multiple picks, according to multiple reports.

The blockbuster trade gives the Mavericks the coveted second star to slot next to Luka Doncic, a huge but risky upgrade from Jalen Brunson, who they lost to the New York Knicks in free agency.

The Nets hope the end of the contentious Irving saga will finally give them stability.

It’s a full-circle moment, albeit not the ending the Nets hoped for, as they are reunited with Dinwiddie, their former player who played a key role in recruiting Irving in the lead-up to the 2019 free agency that also landed them Kevin Durant.
