Kyrie declined to do an exit interview with the team, while Luka Dončić denied reports he’d request a trade and that he is happy in Dallas. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes react to the collapse and discuss the future of the organization moving forward.

Mavs manage to somewhat be worse after Kyrie trade. Letting Jalen Brunson was a big mistake and knowing Kyrie and Christan Woods are free agent this summer, they got to figure out if they will resign them or retool the entire roster.

What's the point of interviewing if you're Kyrie? The media already deemed him the cause of the mavericks' downfall, and they've been painting that narrative for weeks now. Plus, to add on the franchise purposely sat players to lose after he claimed they'll fight until the end. I've watched every game he played when he was traded, won't lie, the main thing I dislike dribble the ball and just standing in the corner...but guess what, Luka did the same thing. Overall, he played decent defense, played off ball a lot, and put points on the board line he was supposed to. At this point, he was an easy target, and he probably didn't want anything to do with the media.

@kerke4639 Год назад

They messed up the moment they let Brunson walk out. Now I know people were skeptical about him and the deal required to keep him due to what the Knicks offered to him, but you can’t let a player with high value walk off for nothing especially after his coming out party IN THE PLAYOFFS. Now you’re in a situation where you lose your 2nd best player and you don’t add anything significant to the team. And in the middle of the season you trade for a guy that’s pretty much going to be Brunson for you but a little older but you’re willing to pay him more than Brunson and you’re giving up actual valuable picks, your best wing player who also happens to be the best defender on your team and a starter caliber guard. This is as bad management as you get. And you’re doing this while the team is functioning. You’re a top 4 team in the West, right there for a top 2-3 spot at the time and you give up 2 starters and multiple picks for one guy that has been labeled a ball hog and a team killer over the last half a decade. This is 90% all on the management. And the worse part for Luka is people weren’t going to remember Dinwiddie and Finney-Smith’s names after a couple years. They’ll say they gave up 2 players for Kyrie Irving and Luka with a future hall of famer couldn’t get it done. That’s going to be the argument in a couple years.
