Kyrie Irving is heading to the Dallas Mavericks after requesting a trade before Thursday's deadline.
The Brooklyn Nets star dropped the bombshell on Friday that he wanted to leave the franchise before Thursday's NBA trade deadline. And with Irving free to leave at the end of the season, securing a trade deal was crucial for the Nets.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Irving will join the Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round and multiple second-round picks. Irving was linked with multiple franchises, but has now wrapped up his next move.
