This just in! Kyrie Irving Has Been Traded

All angles of the Kyrie trade. Would we have done this as the Nets? Did they take the best package? Where does this leave this team as a contender? Would we have done this as the Mavs? Was this better than Door #2? How good is this Mavs team? Does this make it more likely Luka Doncic is a Mav in a few years? What about the jilted suitors, should they and could they have offered more? Why we think Kyrie and his team did a great job from a business perspective? We also hit on the impact of Steph Curry’s lower leg injury.
