The thing is, Irving will be on his best behavior for the remainder of this season, so I actually think that if he could be gotten cheaply enough, meaning that most of the good players Dallas has would still be here afterwards, it's possible THIS season might be a whole lot better than what it's headed toward becoming right now. I think that's probably a positive, kind of.
But, there is NO chance that they trade for him and keep him...two years, four years, whatever...and don't regret that at a point VERY soon in the relationship. This is a man who destroys teams. Our team won't be the one where it suddenly works out. People saying there's a chance it will work out really think, deep down, that it probably will. And man, those folks are WRONG.
This is not a guy you should want on your team. Even if you can just chalk his behavior up to "weird" or even "crazy" (it's worse than that, for sure, but I'll go with it for the sake of discussion) it's not going to magically get better here. This is a man who thinks he's above the NBA, teammates, and society in general. There is a 100% chance, not 99%, 100%, that he leaves this franchise worse off than it is now if they trade for him. It's literally WHAT HE DOES.
