It’s that time of the season when NBA fans anticipate either surprising or outlandish trade deals being reported ahead of the trade deadline. The NBA world looks set for a pretty eventful week ahead with multiple trade news and an all-time NBA record on the cards. However, a recent trade update on Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has brought NBA Twitter to share their variety of opinions. Especially from Dallas Mavericks fans as they swarmed the comments section.

The Nets star had a rough start to the season dealing with several issues off the court. However, the fourth quarter master seemingly turned the tables around after he returned from suspension. The Brooklyn side needed a face to take the team forward after Kevin Durant’s absence due to injury, and Irving has done a commendable job at it so far. Currently, the Nets are the fourth seed on the Eastern Conference table with a 31-20 record. Meanwhile, the recent news on Irving ahead of the deadline surprised the NBA world.
