It turns out that the culprit wasn’t the heat of North Texas. Or those extra onions in potato salad. Or Habanero barbecue sauce.
The relapse of acid reflux this holiday weekend was not caused by intolerable climate and cooking, but by the persistent reports of “Kyrie Irving” and “Mavericks” in the same sentence.
This diagnosis was confirmed by Sunday’s fallout from the Mavericks’ recent off-season retreat. Signed a one-year contract with Chicago.
Dallas Failure — Or Was It A Decision? — Luka Doncic’s 36-year-old mentor, signing a Slovenian companion to transform the equivalent of an undisputed layup, will be teamed up by Governor Mark Cuban and General Manager Nico Harrison. Further fueled speculation that he had a more spectacular idea about the only remaining roster spots in.
For example, Brooklyn’s arguably skilled but benevolent 30-year-old guard Irving.
Nico, saying that’s not the case.
On the night of the draft on June 23, Mavericks sources said the Dallas will pursue Irving after athletic Shams Charania reports that the Mavericks are among the seven teams Irving welcomes to trade. I rejected the idea.
Irving finally chose $ 36.5 million in the final year of his contract, but just hours before the start of the free agent last Thursday, teammate Kevin Durant’s trade demands were made by both him and Irving. Almost certainly traded.
Saturday, Carania Features of the Lakers, Philadelphia, and Dallas As an Irving suitor. Unfortunately, he meant irving the player, not the great city next to Dallas.
With his stunning handle and three-season net average of 27.1 points, 6.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 49% shots, it’s certainly fascinating to offend the player.
The problem is that on a one-month cruise, by irranging people, they carry more luggage as a locker room than Kim Kardashian. His fingerprints are everywhere in Brooklyn’s monumental implosions. His awakening of destruction goes back further to two controversial seasons in Boston.
The words Jason Kidd emphasized on the first day of the training camp last September are not the embodiment of chemistry and accountability.
These words laid the foundation for the culture of the Mavericks team, where Harrison, Kidd and coaching staff set the NBA’s third-best record following the New Year and made an amazing run in the finals of the Western Conference. rice field.
But this weekend, especially after Dragic’s news on Sunday, a notable part of social media Mavericks fans believes that one season of Irving isn’t too risky and the potential turnaround far outweighs the negatives. I resigned in particular.
You see, I understand. Lose Jalen Brunson He stabbed Mavericks and MFFL badly without compensation.
It is difficult enough to be shaken on the altar by free agents each year. Have one of your own files for divorce and escape to the team where it looks like wisdom, he was engaged more than flirting, especially painful.
It’s also clear that the Dallas off-season lags behind the Golden State, Clippers, Denver, Minnesota, and perhaps New Orleans rosters, despite the addition of Christian Wood and JaVale McGee tycoons. is. And what if Durant gets to Phoenix or San Francisco?
Durant is a magnificent mansion that overpays without asking for inspection and without asking questions. Irving is an eye-catching real estate with all the bells and whistles, as well as cracked foundations and mold behind the walls.
Irving is the acquisition of a desperate team, or a desperate and stupid team like the Lakers. The Mavericks, who finished the finals of the Western Conference with 23-year-old Doncic and need to improve their roster, should not be in a desperate mode.
Just as Irving looks good in the locker room and culture, it’s also frowning to wonder how the ball-dominant Irving and Doncic mesh on the same backcoat.
This is not about the Dragic news on Sunday. It’s understandable why fans and perhaps Doncic are disappointed, but in reality 36-year-old Dragic didn’t intend to fill Branson’s void or make Dallas a favorite of the Western Conference.
Mavericks will receive better service by boosting Cleveland’s restricted free agent, Collin Sexton. Or do a calculated gambling with TJ Warren. Alternatively, you can trade with 33-year-old Bojan Bogdanovic.
But Kyrie Irving? I’m sorry while enjoying the rest of the holiday. Ideally served with a slice of apple pie. Of course, a la mode.
