The Dallas Mavericks had high expectations when they acquired Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets in February, hoping to form a dynamic duo with Luka Doncic and contend for a championship. But instead of building on their success from last season, when they reached the Western Conference finals, the Mavericks fell short of even making the play-in tournament, finishing 11th in the standings.
The Mavericks’ fate was sealed on Friday night, when they lost to the Chicago Bulls 115-112, despite resting Irving and four other key players. The decision was seen as a way to protect their draft pick, which they owe to the New York Knicks as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade, but also as a sign of giving up.
Irving, who was traded for Jalen Brunson, Dwight Powell and two first-round picks, was supposed to be the missing piece for the Mavericks. The six-time All-Star averaged 27.1 points, 5.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game for Dallas, but he also missed 17 games due to injuries and personal reasons.
Irving’s absence was felt in crucial moments, as the Mavericks struggled to close out games and lost several close contests down the stretch. NBA fans had no sympathy for Irving, who had previously won a title with LeBron James in Cleveland and played alongside Kevin Durant and James Harden in Brooklyn. They blamed him for ruining the Mavericks’ chemistry, wasting Doncic’s prime and being a bad leader.
Fans react to Kyrie Irving’s failed stint with the Mavericks
NBA fans did not hold back on Irving and the Mavericks for their underwhelming season, taking to social media to roast them with memes, jokes, and insults.
The Mavericks now face an uncertain future after their disappointing season. They will have to decide whether to keep Irving or try to trade him for another star or assets. They will also have to surround Doncic with more talent and depth to compete in the loaded Western Conference.
Irving will have to deal with his own legacy after his failed stint with the Mavericks. He will have to prove that he can still be an elite player and a positive influence on any team he joins. He will also have to answer for his actions and decisions that have caused controversy and criticism.
The Mavericks had high hopes when they traded for Kyrie Irving, but they ended up with nothing but regrets. NBA fans had no mercy for them, and neither did their opponents.
