On Sunday, according to ESPN and other media outlets, the Mavericks sent guards Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie along with a 2029 first round pick and two second round picks to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for the All-Star guard who fancies himself as the NBA’s version of Socrates, without the brains.
Irving, 30, made it known last week he would not resign with the Nets this offseason and he wanted to be traded.
Love the boldness of the Mavs to constantly go for it.
