It is a furious time for Dallas Mavericks fans and a conflicting for Kyrie Irving after the trade in Luka Dončić.
Although many have quickly criticized Dallas because they have continued a five-time All-NBA first team, Irving is left to lead a team that has been massively changed in the schedule construction, in which a historically effective scorer in Dončić is exchanged for one Two-way striking in Anthony Davis. Moreover, Irving considers both players friends.
In conversation with reporters after the loss of the Mavericks 118-116 against the Philadelphia 76ers, Irving explained his thoughts.
Irving on his response:
“Just really shocked. I just don’t imagine that you get ready to go to sleep and then you will discover news. Still a grieving process now, miss my Hermano. We had a lot of time together, Kief and Maxi, and we have just built a few bonds that went beyond the basketball court. If someone can understand at home, when someone or a few people leave in an exchange, it becomes difficult and that is what we are dealing with now.
“This is a company, it’s far above my wage rate, I just have to adjust and be ready to welcome my new teammates with open arms and be ready to go back to Dallas and speak for our fans. I know it They feel it all others at home, it hurts.
The loss of Dončić will impose the lion’s share of responsibility on Irving to create offensively. The Sixers caused a glimpse of the pressure that he encounters on Tuesday at the end of their game, when they double the logo and forced a well -thed ride of Naji Marshall.
Davis will not deal with the ball much as Dončić, but he will help in other ways. Irving said that in 2018 he actually spoke with Davis Davis the leading role for the New Orleans Pelicans, while Irving was still forming a super team in Boston next to Kevin Durant at the Boston Celtics.
The hope was that the Jayson Tatum team could keep, which was groan in 2017-18, but it was accepted that Jaylen Brown should be moved. The rumors apparently did not go well in the dressing room of the Celtics:
“In 2018 it was a dream for Kyrie, Ad, KD to be in one team and still keep JT and let him grow and then see how it goes. But then those young boys were not ready to be in trade rumors His man.
Seven years later Irving and Davis will give the idea a partial attempt. However, Durant probably does not run through that door.
