The Nets reportedly traded embattled point guard Kyrie Irving on Sunday afternoon to the Mavericks in a trade package that included Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and draft compensation.
While the Mavericks won the sweepstakes to acquire Irving from Brooklyn, several teams made offers to the Nets to pry him away from a situation that became contentious for all involved.
The Suns were one of those teams that made a push to trade for Irving, and the franchise was willing to include all-star point guard Chris Paul as part of the trade package, according to a report from Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report.
