With Kyrie Irving to Dallas and Kevin Durant possibly to Phoenix reported, NBA fans can't keep calm: "LEBRON IN SHAMBLES", "CP finally gets a ring"

Kyrie Irving is no longer a member of the Brooklyn Nets. After requesting a trade on Friday, Feb. 3, the point guard was traded in just two days. While his trade was imminent, no one expected him to join the Dallas Mavericks.

The acquisition of the former NBA champion is the perfect move by Nico Harrison as it will allow the Mavericks to compete in the Western Conference. As controversial as Irving is, he's a great player and could be a game-changer.

Considering that this is a blockbuster trade, millions of NBA fans from all around the world reacted to it. Here are some of the best reactions so far!

NBA fans react to Kyrie Irving's trade to Dallas Mavericks

Adding Irving to the Mavericks was a great move that will make the team more competitive. However, most basketball fans believed that the 8-time All-Star would be traded to another Western Conference team.

The LA Lakers were interested in trading for Irving and his reunion with LeBron James sounded perfect. However, almost every deal with the Nets had to include Russell Westbrook and his massive salary.

Both the Nets and the Mavs have got great pieces and this may be a win-win trade. However, LeBron James may be the only loser in this situation.

LeBron wasn't the only one who wanted Kyrie Irving. Many Lakers fans were also rooting for their front office to make this move, which is why they are now disappointed.

While the reunion would have been interesting, the Lakers will have to continue their season without Irving. This is not ideal since they've struggled to win games and may not make the playoffs once again.

While many fans talked about Irving and his impact on the Mavericks, some pointed out how Spencer Dinwiddie is returning to the team he played five seasons for. The combo guard played in Brooklyn from 2016 to 2021.

It might still be too early to talk about the Dallas Mavericks and how good they will be. However, some fans believe that Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are already the best backcourt duo in the entire NBA.

Some are worried about Irving's influence on Doncic. Considering that Irving's controversial nature is one of his biggest problems, this is something a lot of Mavericks fans worry about.

The Mavericks will certainly be a much better team with the superstar guard, but some fans believe that they will win it all very soon.

The Mavs have a long way to go to win it all, but this may be their only shot at a title with Irving. The 8-time All-Star is on an expiring contract and if he doesn't agree to a new deal, he may sign with another team next summer.
