Shams Charania also called Kyrie Irving the “go-between” for the Dallas Mavericks front office and Luka Dončić amid a “strained relationship."
When discussing Irving's reaction to the trade, Jason Kidd mentioned that Irving "probably saw things differently."
This pretty much confirms my thinking. I posted this in the news thread. But, once Luka was traded I had a feeling and posted about it that Klay and Kyrie were involved. They had likely talked to Kidd and Nico about moving Luka. The destination is Kyrie, KD, Klay, and AD. This has been in the works since Kyrie was in Boston. Boston hates Kyrie because the team found out what he was doing.
Klay knew what was going on since he had played on team USA and with KD in GS. He probably said no to joining since he thought he would retire with GS. When they didn't offer him what he thought he was worth he was in.
This offseason we'll see the young guys shipped off to the Suns for KD. KD, Klay and AD will keep things afloat while Kyrie gets ready to play.
Find me at Lakersball.com. I'm done with the Nico and the Mavs.
