Kiri Irving “stunned” by Luka Doncic -anthony Davis Swap between Mavericks & Lakers – Sports Illustrated

Dallas Maverix surprised everyone by trading with Megazvez Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Martifa Maurice in three team swaps with Lakers and Jazz, Rebow Anthony Davis and Max Christie in Dallas. Mavericks seems to keep everyone in the dark while working to do this move, including their other superstar.

Ramona Shelburn of ESPN reported early on Sunday morning, “Kiri Irving was also stunned by the onion-AD trade. They told me he was doing a workout in Cleveland when he saw the news to come across the news of that [Shams Charania]”Dallas plays on the road against the cavaliers on Sunday afternoon and now there will be a lot of distraction for this game.

It is one thing to keep the people around the NBA in the dark, but it is another to protect Kiri Irving outside the loop. Irving is so free of his time in Dallas and his relationship with Luka Doncic. They just went to the NBA finals together eight months ago. It would not be surprising to see Irving start evaluating his future in Dallas, all the more so that he has an option for a player in his contract for next season, even if he has a close relationship with Nico Harrison.

Anthony Davis begged Lakers to add a center to him because he believes he was a force forward. Well, he now has his desire. Daniel Gafford will start with him in the next few months. Davis will probably have to play a few minutes in the center until Dereck Lively II returns from the fracture of stress in his ankle near the beginning of the playoffs.

Until the lively one returns and if we assume that there are no more crazy deals, Dallas is likely to start Kiri Irving, Clai Thompson, PP Washington, Anthony Davis and Daniel Guffard, with Jaden Hardy, Dante, Max Christie, Quentin Grims and Naji Marshall like their bench. They now have an open place for a list they could use to sign someone in the buy -up market or trade with one of their elections to bring extra depth to the front court. Even when the lively and Dwight Powell returns from the injury, the front court is a little thin. And Davis is also not the most dignified player.
