The Brooklyn Nets have traded star guard Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 first-round pick and future second-round picks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The deal comes days after Irving requested a trade from Brooklyn after he and the Nets failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension ahead of the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline.
The deal also vaults the Mavericks into legitimate championship contention pairing Irving, an All-Star starter, with Dallas’ Luka Doncic, a candidate for NBA Most Valuable Player of the Year.
