Considering his track record of a lack of accountability and untrustworthiness, it was kind of shocking to see the Dallas Mavericks giving up assets to land Kyrie Irving before the NBAās trade deadline.
He wasnāt what Jason Kiddās team needed by any means, not from a basketball standpoint, and definitely not from a character stance, either. Especially considering heās just months away from hitting free agency.
Unsurprisingly, the early returns have been catastrophic, with him and Luka Doncic putting up huge numbers, but not many wins to show for that. Still, Kyrie has faith in what they can accomplish together.
Kyrie Irving Thinks He And Doncic Will Figure Things Out
āJust not losing the leads, or kind of coming in and not having a team-first mentality,ā Kyrie said. āGuys are coming off the bench and want to come in and show their talent, obviously put points on the board. But I think weāre just easing into and just knowing that if we continue to play at a very high pace, everybodyās going to get their shots. Just continuing to have that next-play mentality.ā
āIf you donāt get it that one play, do something for your teammate in order to get him a better shot or put yourself in position,ā he added.āItās just one of those times throughout the season, especially where we are after the trade, where our units are figuring each other out. And when we do, weāll be good.ā
The only problem with this is that they donāt have a lot of time to get their act together. More than that, Jason Kidd isnāt the kind of guy to mince his words, and thatās not going to sit well with a guy like Kyrie.
Doncic doesnāt look happyā and thatās not a surprise either. Kidd has taken the ball off his hands in clutch time, so this all seems like itās a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode at the most crucial time of the campaign.
