Dallas Mavericks will regret this one; trading for Kyrie Irving is a desperate move

Mary Altaffer/AP

The Dallas Mavericks are so desperate to put an All-Star player next to Luka they went with the crazy hot one.

Uncle Drew is coming to the Mavs.

Will be interesting. Will be entertaining.

And don’t come cryin’ when Kyrie Irving goes Rondo and this movie bombs.

On Sunday, according to ESPN and other media outlets, the Mavericks sent guards Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie along with a 2029 first round pick and two second round picks to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for the All-Star guard who fancies himself as the NBA’s version of Socrates, without the brains.

Irving, 30, made it known last week he would not resign with the Nets this offseason and he wanted to be traded.

Love the boldness of the Mavs to constantly go for it.

Hate this move.

Adding Irving to play next to Luka Doncic makes the Mavericks a more talented team, not a better one.

There is one prima donna Net you want, and it’s not Kyrie (Hint: He’s a Longhorn).

Kyrie makes Terrell Owens, Lamar Odom, Rajon Rondo, Carl Everett, Greg Hardy and some of the other crazies who have graced our fields and courts with their talents look like role model teammates.

Kyrie is what dudes call “Crazy hot.”

So hot as in DO NOT TOUCH.

If you do, you’re going not going to get not burned but destroyed.

Ask the Cavaliers. Ask the Celtics. Ask the Nets.

He’s not worth it.

The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 9, and the Mavs are currently in contention as the NBA’s Most Disappointing Team this season.

Who knew Jalen Brunson was this good?

The Mavs are 28-26, and in sixth place in the Western Conference. They are basically two games away from the 10th seed, and nine away from the first.

The problem is the problem; Luka doesn’t have quality friends.

Kyrie is quality. Not sure he’s a friend.

The Mavs are 0-7 when Luka Doncic doesn’t play, which includes a six-point loss at Golden State on Saturday night. No, the game wasn’t that close.

Mavs GM Nico Harrison and owner Mark Cuban had to do something if they want to be a threat in the West.

Adding Kyrie Irving’s talent does that.
