The Dallas Mavericks cracked one of the biggest deals of the season by acquiring the 7x NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving ahead of the trade deadline last week. Irving’s addition to Luka Doncic & Co further strengthened the offense front. Additionally, recent reports suggested the possibility of another veteran power forward joining the Dallas side. However, the trade update ignited varied opinions among the fans.

The Mavs currently have one of the most potent offenses in the NBA. The Slovenian star has been in red-hot form, dropping high scores consistently. Moreover, Doncic produced four 50-pointer games before February. Furthermore, the 24-year-old’s new ally Irving seemed to be working well in tandem. The Mavericks are 4th seed of the Western Conference with a commendable 31-27 record, keeping their playoff dreams alive.

Veteran NBA star likely to join Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic 

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, 7x NBA All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge could join the Mavericks team. The senior NBA Insider’s tweet read, “Free agent F/C LaMarcus Aldridge is working out for the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN.” Aldridge played his last season with the Brooklyn Nets averaging 12.9 in 47 games in the 2021-22 season. However, he turned into a free agent post-season after he failed to land a contract.
