The Dallas Mavericks’ wish to pair up Luka Doncic with a second superstar was fulfilled around the NBA trade deadline when the team acquired Kyrie Irving via trade from the Brooklyn Nets.
On paper, the duo sounded extremely dangerous, but so far, fans are yet to see that dominance in terms of wins. On top of that, John Hollinger of ‘The Athletic’ recently gave Mavericks fans a concerning warning about Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic‘s future in Dallas.
“Keep an eye on this situation.” Hollinger wrote. “Between Irving’s wandering eye for L.A. this summer, the potential of Luka Doncic’s frustration boiling over, and [Jason] Kidd’s history of things ending badly when they end, this could get a lot worse before it gets better.”
Considering the fact that the duo has played just five games together and there are already concerns about their future, it’s not good news for the Mavericks fanbase.
Will Kyrie Irving And Luka Doncic Stay Together?
Before getting traded to the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving was linked to the Los Angeles Lakers for several months. So, when Irving requested a trade from the Nets, most expected him to be traded to the Lakers.
Although the deal fell apart, there have been constant rumors about Irving’s plans to leave Dallas this summer. If he indeed tests free agency, he is expected to reunite with LeBron James and don the Lakers jersey.
As for Luka Doncic, this is his fifth season with the Mavericks. While Luka has only improved his game with each passing season, the Mavs have failed to keep up with him. Moreover, there was a report regarding Doncic leaving the team because of Kyrie’s arrival.
Ultimately, how the Mavericks finish this season will have a thundering effect on the future of Kyrie and Luka with the team. As of now, the duo just needs to figure out how to play elite basketball together and hopefully have a great playoff run.
