02, February 06, The Athletic reporter Tim Cato wrote an article, and team sources revealed that Kyrie Irving will be traded.
It wasn’t the only roster change the Mavericks made at the trade deadline.
Tim Cato said that the current 28 wins and 26 losses are the worst results since Luka Doncic‘s rookie season, so they want to continue to improve the lineup after getting Irving.
Irving’s contract will expire this summer, and league sources revealed that if the Lone Ranger has no plan to re-sign Irving this summer, they will not trade Irving with two starters.
In addition, the source also said that in this trade negotiation, although the Nets showed interest in Josh Green, the Lone Ranger has been reluctant to put the 22-year-old forward on the trade list.
