Someone on twitter said if Tsai would have already given Irving the Supermax, this would not be happening.

I say Irving needs to stay in Brooklyn until season is over then Brooklyn needs to let him be a free agent. When free agent, teams do not need to pay him the big money he is searching for despite having at least four 20 point 4th quarter games.

He is one of the best. There is no doubt.
He is also very disruptive. They sit in 4th, and they don't need the distraction right now.

Wait what happened? I thought it was a sure thing he was going to the Lakers. Did Lebron say no?

In theory, that makes the Mavs serious contenders. Luka and Kyrie are top players.
However: whose team is it now? Can these two share the ball?

Does Irving + Doncic really make a lot of sense? Great players sure, but same position...

That too. But I think that both can move between shooting and point guard easily. And the positions are no longer set in stone, as before.

True, maybe even more relevant is can two guys with big egos coexist and actually enhance each other. On the other hand Dallas has to take a risk if they want to become contenders and not lose Doncic in few years. Luka has been asking for help for a couple years already.

Lebron would take Doncic in a heartbeat.

Because Lebron is past the point in which he needs to be the #1 guy in the team. I am not sure if Kyrie is there (and don't know if Luka is also, as what Suliso said. This is, and has been for a few years, HIS TEAM).

His stans blame all the problems on Westbrook.

I haven't watched the Lakers much this season but when I have I notice that in the first half Lebron plays a strong aggressive game. Come the third and fourth quarters his age begins to show. Also, if you breathe hard on Davis he breaks. The most consistent player, at least last season was Westbrook.

As you said ponchi Kyrie is disruptive and if I'm Doncic's agent he's out of there as soon as possible.

I don't think Kyrie is the answer.

Westbrook is playing his same game as always. He scores what he is given, rebounds what he can, dishes as needed. But his turnovers are more than average, and they make him look not good.
And I never thought I would defend Lebron, but he is playing for all the team. He assists and rebounds, but when the time comes, he has to be the scorer. I mean, he IS Lebron, he is no John Stockton. But the team is perennially disorganized. Plus, what you say. I would have to be the physio guy for AD (or Zion).

If so Dallas has blown up the current roster for no reason at all... But knowing a bit what kind of strange guy Irving is what you say is not unlikely at all.
