RARE PHOTOS: Luka doncic says playing with kyrie irving will be a learning process - The Real Truth

The Mavericks made the a big splash before the NBA trade deadline, acquiring Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris last Sunday for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and picks. The move gives Dallas a star to pair with Luka Dončić for the rest of the season in an attempt to make a run at an NBA Finals.

Dallas is 2–0 with Irving in the lineup, despite the fact Dončić has missed those games with a heel injury. After the Mavericks’ win over the Kings, Dončić explained that he is happy Dallas made the move, even if it cost them two solid players in Dinwiddie and Finney-Smith.

“We’ll obviously miss them here, but Kyrie’s Kyrie, man,” Dončić said, via ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “NBA champion. Probably the best ball handler ever in the game. Amazing player, and he’s going to be fun to play with.”
