Kyrie Irving’s trade request sort of came out of left field last week. But his trade to the Dallas Mavericks was even more surprising.
The point guard is now teammates with Luka Doncic on the back of a trade between the Mavs and the Brooklyn Nets, so it will be an intrigue with regard to how things pan out in the NBA’s Western Conference given the development.
Some NFL stars were informed of the development during the Pro Bowl and were shocked to learn that the guard was going to the Mavericks and not the Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James was heard asking, “Why would he f**king go to the Mavs?”
He then went on to ask, “Why didn’t he go to the Lakers?”
We’re pretty sure Kyrie wouldn’t have minded reuniting with LeBron James but the Mavericks simply had more to offer and the package they sent to the Nets was better than anything the Lakers could afford short of trading their stars.

Of course, there is still time for the Lakers to pull off a trade as the deadline is on Thursday. But both Jameses will have to settle for what they got right now.
