Irving’s tenure with the Nets was marred by missed time because of his refusal to be vaccinated for the coronavirus and because he posted a link to an antisemitic film on his social media. In Dallas, he will join the superstar Luka Doncic.

1. Would not want that guy

on my team. What a distraction! He's supremely talented, but he puts himself first.

[bahboo]

2. just look at how the Celtics have done after he left....

wouldn't want him on my team if I was a Mavs fan...

3. Toxic waste

Talented player who can’t get out of his own way. I wouldn’t want him on my team. That is Luka’s team. Mr. Smartest guy in the room will learn that real quick.

4. There Has To Be More Than What We're Seeing

I don't know what the Mavericks know or have planned but this seem an odd fit.
And, Luka isn't a patient guy.

5. Well, as a long-suffering Knicks fan, al I can say is. . .
