Kyrie Irving's arrival to Dallas might be the best trade in NBA history

At the beginning of February 2023, Kyrie Irving made a trade request to the front office of the Brooklyn Nets. Things were not working out and this situation was made public. On February 5, he was traded, along with Markieff Morris, to the Dallas Mavericks for Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, and a first-round pick of the 2029 draft.

His arrival in Dallas was the strangest thing. The Kyrie Irving of recent years, lost without being under the tutelage of his brother LeBron James, did not seem like the right player to help Luka Doncic in his championship aspirations.

However little by little, Kyrie has found the perfect context to exploit his basketball level. Luka Doncic has become the perfect substitute for 'The King' in the ideal scheme for Irving to play at his highest level.

And Dallas is a bit of a reflection of those Cleveland Cavaliers, where Luka occupies LeBron's place. The Slovenian conditions rival defenses in a very similar way, not to mention his ability to create spaces, pass and find his teammates free.

Now in the NBA Finals, Kyrie Irving is the perfect fit for the Mavs

Kyrie Irving is reflected in the one from 2016, who with a forward like Luka at his side, forms a lethal and indefensible duo. Together they show a synergy that did not seem possible, they have even been seen joking with a happiness and tranquility in Irving that has not been observed for years.

Furthermore, Irving's maturity at 32 years old has led him, once and for all, to accept that his destiny is to be the best squire of all time and not a common leader. If he is focused on basketball, and only that, he is one of the best players in the NBA.

In the regular season, Kyrie averaged 25.6 points per game with 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and a 49.7% on field goals, something that standouts at this point of his careers and series away from another NBA championship.
