Actually, the only problem with Kyrie Irving is being toxic and having a big pride.
Anything about basketball, there's no problem with him, especially in terms of adjusting. Kyrie's sudden change of behavior is the only reason why he is becoming a big problem on any team he's in. Never heard of him being a problem because of his usual game performance.
If Kyrie will be able to find his comfort zone, at least, here in the Dallas Mavericks, and will last long until the end of the season or where this team will end up, everything will be good. Doncic agrees on the trade as per the report, therefore, seeing it as a big help for the team.

I just learned about the Nets - Mavericks reported deal. It's probably what Luka needs at the moment but I doubt this is going to work out in the long-run. Someone made a comment on this that they will need two balls so they could play together hehe. Great chance for some young guys like Thomas and even Watanabe to step up.
My thoughts exactly. I couldn't believe it when I heard the Mavs deal last night. I literally told my friend if he was joking. I wonder how this will affect Luka. As it is pointed out above, he loves the have the ball and Kyrie is that kind of player also. I though Kyrie to Lakers was a better deal for Nets at first, but I read that their plan is to have Durant as long as possible and make team around him with draft picks. Durant is 34 but he also seems like he has 3-4 good years ahead of him, similar to Lebron. Things were not working so greatly with Kyrie and they got a deal out of him before his contract is finished. An actual good move from Nets, surprisingly. 
Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic duo would be unstoppable as long as they'll create a good bond, you know, play like brothers to achieve one goal, which is the championship.
This we will have to see, both are alpha players, so only one could be the leader of the team. I know that Kyrie as experience playing with Lebron and KD but Luka is different, so let's see if the marriage are going to be successful as Irving is now in the West.
Irving is a one time champion, he has experience in the Finals series, so he can help the young Mavericks in case they'll reach at that level.
But let's hope it will not happen.
Kyrie Irving could turn Mavericks’ dream backcourt with Luka Doncic into a nightmare
I am one of those guys that don't like Kyrie Irving. He is a talented athlete but he is so toxic and I really think he is not worth it, especially when in tandem with another ball handler like Luka. His best years were only when he was in Cleveland. After that, he is either injured or he is busy spreading his toxicity when healthy. Good thing there's a link already detailing his ventures after his Cleveland days because I would've loved to post a brief summary of his failures, especially in Boston. The young Boston core performed well in the playoffs without Kyrie. I will never forget when 20 and 21-year-old rookies Tatum and Brown together with their young core Rozier and Smart plus veteran Al Horford iirc went unbeaten at home before that fateful conference finals game 7 loss to Lebron and the Cavs. In the next season's playoffs, toxic Kyrie choked as Boston was nearly shut out by Milwaukee in that series. And then comes next were his injuries and drama in Brooklyn.
Mark Cuban seems interested to host Kyrie's next drama series by letting go of Finney-Smith and a future 1st round draft pick. Maybe Cuban should also take the other Morris to complete his roster.
Reports are saying that the Cavaliers have removed Kevin Love from their rotation. Speculation is that he may be on the trading block. He’s been playing great this year but he is getting older… I’m not sure where would be a good landing spot for him, but the Cavs have been playing so well maybe they’re trying to make a run this year and think they could do better than Love. They are pretty stacked with big guys already.
That's sad news. Maybe Lebron would want his brother beside him, even for just being a bench player. I am not even sure what team would want him so this is not a good move from the Cavaliers. That's a champion with veteran experience that would be helpful for Allen and Mobley. And just because they have Dean Wade back after recovering from his injuries doesn't mean there won't be a use for Kevin Love. He seems to have done a great help whenever they are undermanned, it's just that he wasn't able to get more minutes when the roster was healthy again.
Update about the Kyrie Irving trade.
Quote
Kyrie Irving is expected to arrive for a physical on Monday in Dallas and travel to make his Mavericks debut vs. the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday (10 PM ET, ESPN), source tells ESPN.
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1622353465635753984?s=20&t=kl6rChUdx3tmGJS_PtiRdAJust like that, it's goodbye Brooklyn. It amazes me how fast things could happen/change in NBA especially when the trade deadline is near. Entertainment at its best.

Cavs probably don't care if they get something from trading him. I don't really know a team that would need him right now. Maybe he can find some place to play abroad or just retire after his contract expires this season. He had a good run and achieved something most players in the league will never get so it's probably a good time to move on.

It's because Dorian Finney-Smith's game somewhat diminished this season, this defense and 3 point shooter was not the same as last season wherein he was a big contributor in both ends of the floor.
Spencer Dinwiddie though will have to go back to the Nets again. He spend a great deal of time there so probably just a little adjustment on him.
Many still believe that DFS is a great three and D player. Spencer Dinwiddie though will have to go back to the Nets again. He spend a great deal of time there so probably just a little adjustment on him.
A career 36% 3-pt shooting, I guess he's a big help with the Nets defensively. Him and Claxton might be a big help in the paint. Aside from him, the Nets also got Dinwiddie whom we expect as the 2nd scorer of the Mavs, but didn't reach our expectation. He can still erupts if needed like what he did to Phoenix, but he's somewhat inconsistent. Maybe that'll change now that he's back with his former team Nets.

We've seen Russel Westbrook and James Harden played with each other in Houston and back at that time, both of them are ball-dominant especially Harden which is the focal person of the Rockets at that time. What happened to their duo? It failed big time. Same with Russ and Melo when both are in Thunder. I'm not being pessimistic and I always believe that in times like this, adjustments for both players is a must. Let's just see maybe how they will play with each other. It's very exciting for sure how they will be in the same court as teammates.
Good thing about what trade done with the dallas is they will not only rely Luka's performance they have Kyrie now who can score more points. This duo can produce good numbers already but the problem there will be there defense since if you look at there current line up maybe they might get trouble on defensive end. But for sure they can work this out to make this rooster successful.
Many people wait what will be the performance of Luka and Kyrie since both of them is also a ball dominant player.
They are already good with only Luka on the team and now with Kyrie added their chance to be in the NBA playoff this season will get high. They really took it personally when the fans told them to get help because it's not too late yet and they can actually boost their team performance with Kyrie especially when they need to hustle and maintain their lead and help Luka rest. Everyone seems excited to see Kyrie plays in Mavs uniform, hope it will gonna turn out well for him for the rest of his time on that team.
But they also lose two players, Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith.
IMO, Dorian Finney-Smith is important to the team because of his defense, and he is also a good 3 point shooter.
But you know, Dallas offered them for Kyrie, so for sure they know how to manage their roster to still win games without these two.

Luka is just getting the probable right help that he needs and that's why Dallas has decided to take him as soon as he's already expressed his desire of getting out of the Nets.
On the other hand, the Nets management has said that KD will stay on them and they're likely to build their roster with a new set of talented players but for how long and how soon enough?
Durant is not the old Durant who won championships with the Warriors, he became a fragile player now that could be injured anytime, so there's no assurance that even if he will stay the Nets will be a championship team. The thing is, if they rely solely on Durant, what would happen if he'll get injured?On the other hand, the Nets management has said that KD will stay on them and they're likely to build their roster with a new set of talented players but for how long and how soon enough?
Well, as for them being a championship team, we've been talking about them before when Kyrie was still there but no longer this time.
It's a mutual decision and the team's decision that they'll keep KD and will have to rebuild the team in their own ways and we'll just have to wait for their updates and additions to their current roster.
That's true, it's also been said for a long time that he really needs someone's help and there it goes through Kyrie. Hoping for the best of the two, and yes, it's really all about the chemistry because we've seen a team that's full of superstars but yet still didn't take any ring.
Chemistry is the key on their team and let's see how they'll be able to adjust to that and everyone is very optimistic with this addition for the Mavs.
It's a risky move by the Dallas Mavericks but it's worth a try though. By the way, for the information of everyone, Irving's contract will expire in less than a year, so it will give Dallas a huge problem if he will not sign with the Dallas. Well, I don't want to think of the negative possibility, I'm hoping that they'll play well so they have a shot of winning a championship together.

He has good stats this season, but not sure if the impact is still the same compared to when he was still with the Warriors. This guy is really good, he is a hall of Famer but the injury problem is a big hindrance to his success.

That's an impressive stats, without him, Nets will really struggle.
Yeap , I say the same. Nets not only will struggle this season , but what about next season ? is Durant gonna stay ? or he will request a trade as well ? because golden era of nets was a complete failure in my opinion as they have the best transfers in 2021 , just to have 2 season in a row without achieving at least 1 NBA finals.
So for me , I have big doubts that Nets will re-build around Durand ...but maybe we will have another astonishing transfers to Nets and they will go for a 3rd try.

Yeah, he should perform well and be enough with the drama but I think that he'll go along with Luka and hopefully they'll have good chemistry.
And prior to this trade, it was a few moments and seconds for the Los Angeles Clippers to take him but then the Nets declined their offer.
Well, that's obvious as the trade of Dallas for them is much better than what LAC has offered for Kyrie. I can't wait to see how Kyrie will play with his new home.
Luka has needed some help for a couple of years now, but the mavericks paid a hefty price tag to obtain it. Let's hope the 2 superstars can get some sort of chemistry going fast. Going to be interesting to see how Luka can handle not being the go to guy any longer.And prior to this trade, it was a few moments and seconds for the Los Angeles Clippers to take him but then the Nets declined their offer.

Of all, I am curious about how Spencer Dinwiddie will provide for the Brooklyn Nets. He was just sent back from where he belonged and I can see that he might become better out there, again. There's a need for the hole left by Kyrie to be filled and who knows if he will suddenly explode while KD is still resting from his injury. This is not a new place for him, he will easily fit in their roster. They are in the 4th place, it would be better not to waste it.

Am I understanding this right? The ticket price to the expected game/s where Lebron James might pass Kareem Abdul Jabbar is really expensive.
Is the ticket price only applies to 1 game (against OKC) or 2 games (against Bucks as well)?
Is the ticket price only applies to 1 game (against OKC) or 2 games (against Bucks as well)?
Well, my thoughts regarding this is that, the fans who'll buy the tickets against the OKC will have a very huge gamble to make, as LeBron needs exactly 36 pts to break the record. We all know the OKC could prevent this from happening if they want to, but let's not all try to forget that NBA is also a business, I a business may not want to disappoint their customers/fans.
However, if LeBron won't break it against OKC, well I guess tickets against the Bucks may become even more expensive lol.
That's how it will work, and we really can't say if he will break the records against OKC or the opponent will limit his productions and not
to allow him to do this in front of OKC's fans.
Or it can go the other side, OKC may give him that space to break the record on their homecourt on personal take it will be a good marketing
as the franchise name will be in the record where LeBron accomplished his new record.
But in the back of my mind, business is always for the money that it can earn, money can direct many ways.
