One of the most unexpected trades that took place before the deadline was the Kyrie Irving trade. The Brooklyn Nets and the Dallas Mavericks came to an agreement that sent Irving to the Mavericks to pair with their star player, Luka Doncic. Now, the Mavericks have split two games since Irving joined the team. However, there is already some chatter that the 2016 NBA champion may not be signing an extension with his new team.

Many Mavericks fans urged the Dallas front office to get some help for their star player, Luka Doncic. And adding Kyrie Irving to the roster sure put all those demands to rest as fans were ecstatic to see Doncic get paired with a seven-time All-Star.

Irving had been under a great amount of scrutiny at the start of the season. So, he made sure to make up for lost assets in his new contract. Irving had lost his shoe deal with Nike and had also turned down a contract extension earlier from the Nets.

So, it may have seemed fair to him that he wanted to make up for the lost time.
