The Brooklyn Nets have reportedly agreed to trade Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, according to multiple reports. The Nets reportedly will receive Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and future picks in the deal.
Brooklyn reportedly receives:
- Spencer Dinwiddie
- Dorian Finney-Smith
- 2027 second-round pick
- 2029 first-round pick (unprotected)
- 2029 second round-pick
Dallas reportedly receives:
- Kyrie Irving
The reported deal comes just two days after Irving requested to be traded from Brooklyn ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline. He was not with Brooklyn for its game Saturday night, with the team saying he was injured and that he was excused from being at the arena.
It also ends a tumultuous stint in Brooklyn.
Irving signed with his hometown team in 2019 with hopes of winning a title while playing alongside Kevin Durant.
But one saga followed another, highlighted by him having to miss almost the entire home schedule last season over his refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19, and an eight-game suspension earlier this season after the team said it was dismayed by his repeated failure to “unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs” following his posting of a movie link on Twitter.
