Kyrie Irving: we already named a city after him!

[hakeemfaan]

The Mavs screwed up the Brunson trade. We have seen Luka even snapping back at Cuban in the recent months. This is an inexperienced GM to begin with.  Plus he most likely had a gun to his head to make something happen. When you mix those two things throw other things out of the window.  The issue is not now but when Cuban hired a neophyte GM with a generational ready to win a title talent in the fold.

That’s why I have not got caught up in the Kidd bashing or even analyzing this trade from what they should have done better.  It was inevitable they would enter into the Kyrie trade talks and inevitable that they would overpay. If they kept their picks they would have done something dumb then also.  Most likely it would be another GM then who Cuban could still control. 

So that’s why I will just enjoy the team if Kyrie decides he wants to play. If it blows up with him, it only accelerates Luka’s departure but that departure was inevitable too from the moment they lost Brunson and took a huge step backwards with no tangible assets to get a more dependable stud.  Those types of studs attract much more attention and the Mavs realistically had no shot to get any of those types if and when they would become available.
