Kyrie Irving has claimed he felt disrespected at times before leaving the Brooklyn Nets for the Dallas Mavericks in a blockbuster trade on Sunday.
Irving demanded a trade from the Nets on Friday night after being presented with a contract offer he deemed unacceptable. The 30-year-old didn't have to wait long, and was dealt to the Mavericks on Sunday night in one of the biggest trades in recent years.
The All-Star guard reported for practice with his new team for the first time on Tuesday and was apparently the first player to arrive. Speaking afterwards, he opened up on his exit from Brooklyn and appeared to fire a parting shot at the organisation.
