Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic had a key role in the team securing a trade for Brooklyn Nets all-star Kyrie Irving.
The deal was reported on Sunday evening after Irving had requested a trade away from the Nets earlier in the week. Irving was said to have felt disrespected by a contract offer from the Nets after he had initially declared his interest to remain with the team for the foreseeable future.
But when the offer came in, a clause was included which Irving 'vehemently disagreed' with, so much so that he demanded a trade away from the team immediately - just days before the trade window closes.
