Just like the rest of Nba A world, Kyrie Irving was amazed to learn that the Dallas Mavericks exchanged Luka Doncic in the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis. Few will be also directly affected by the move as IRVING, which must now play a very different role without its all-NBA rear area.
Irving spoke publicly about the trade for the first time on Tuesday after scoring 34 points, nine rebounds and four assists to the defeat of the Mavericks against the 76ers of Philadelphia.
“Just really shocked,” Irving said by ESPN. “You do not imagine that you are going to prepare to fall asleep and discover news like that. So again the mourning process at the moment. My hermano is missing. We have had a lot of time together – (Markieff Morris I miss ) Also, and Maxi (Kleber).
Irving also made sure to recognize Fans base in shock from Dallas.
“It is a company. It is well above my remuneration note,” said Irving. “A little I just have to adapt and be ready to welcome in my new open arms teammates and be a little ready to return to Dallas to speak in front of our fans. I know they feel it too. I feel it too, guys.
Davis did not play on Tuesday because he is still recovering from an abdominal tension that has kept him on the sidelines since January 28. Irving and the Mavericks, however, could see Max Christie, who filed 15 points, nine rebounds and three aids on the bench at a strong start.

Without Davis, as well as Dereck Lively, Dwight Powell, PJ Washington and the newly acquired Caleb Martin, it was far from the team that the Mavericks hope to have had the time for the playoffs. There were positive signs, however, that for all the questions that remain on this offer and how this business has dropped, the Mavericks could still make noise this spring.
“This is a strange case in Nba The story to be part of, but at the same time, it is the nature of our company, and it is a ruthless company. So you have to be ready to pick up the pieces and run to the championship, “said Irving.” This is the ultimate goal and why I play and have other guys who are also winners of the championship. But at the same time, we still have to recognize that our little Slovenian president is no longer there, and we have to adjust ourselves. “”
Of course, the Mavericks must first make sure they really arrive at the playoffs. After the defeat against the Sixers, the MAVs fell from the spots of the play tournament in the Western Conference and is now in 11th place at 26-25. The good news is that there is a lot of time to solve this problem, and they are only a break in equality that the eighth and 2.5 games on sixth and a place in guaranteed qualifying series.
