Kyrie Irving, Luka Dončić's Fit with Mavericks Questioned by Fans After Massive Trade

The Dallas Mavericks made waves Sunday by acquiring point guard Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets to pair alongside young phenom Luka Dončić.

However, the deal raises questions as to how the new star duo will fit together on the court. Dončić ranks second in the NBA in usage rate and has been the focal point of the Mavs offense since he joined the league in 2018. Irving is also a player that is used to having the ball in his hands, so it will be interesting to see how he adjusts to playing alongside the ball-dominant Dončić.

The report of the trade ignited NBA Twitter, with many wondering how the Mavs are going to make the new All-Star pairing work going forward:

It was no secret that the Mavs were looking for another superstar player to help take pressure off Dončić, but it remains to be seen if Irving is the right fit. If the two of them end up working well together, there's a likelihood that Dallas would look to re-sign Irving over the summer.

However, if the pairing turns out to be a disaster, it will be another disappointing trade for the Mavs, reminiscent of the disappointing acquisition of Kristaps Porziņģis.

Dallas is chasing after a championship this season by adding Irving next to Dončić, so only time will tell if the team's gamble pays off.
