Brad Townsend: Thinking out loud: While waiting on Brooklyn as it attempts to expand the trade and/or move Dinwiddie elsewhere, I wonder what offers the Mavs might be getting for Irving. And if so, are they listening? When I spoke to Dorian Finney-Smith last night, he wasn’t certain he’ll be a Net.

Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith can still be traded now that the trade is complete.
They cannot be traded alongside other Nets, but they can be packaged individually with picks. – 6:01 PM

After trading Kyrie Irving for Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith, the Nets can put together elite defensive lineups, and are just behind the Celtics and Bucks in the East.

I think what we’re learning from some of the other leaked Kyrie offers is that the Nets just really, really valued Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie.
Personally I’m probably a bit lower on them (though they’re both good players!) – 10:13 PM

Reminder that Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith both performed very well in last year’s playoffs:
Dinwiddie:
14.2 pts
42% from field
42% from 3
DFS:
11.7 pts
47% from field
43% from 3
DFS drained 8 threes in G3 against PHX. Dinwiddie dropped 30 on 11/15 shooting G7. – 8:18 PM

I gotta imagine the Mavericks have to make another trade, at least to replenish their wing depth. The rotation was already pretty light heading into this trade and losing Dorian Finney-Smith is significant.
They can trade one more first-round pick right now (2027). – 5:05 PM

I’m sure there are quite a few teams that are bummed to see Dorian Finney-Smith included in today’s Kyrie Irving trade. He’s a terrific 3-and-D glue guy and a number of teams were hoping to pry him away from Dallas. He’s a sneaky-good addition, like Royce O’Neale over the summer. – 5:00 PM

I’ve seen a lot of people ask how the Mavericks are gonna defend opposing wings without Dorian Finney-Smith, but…
How on Earth do they plan to handle Nikola Jokic with their current roster?
That was a preexisting concern but a less relevant one as they weren’t all-in yet – 3:51 PM

For those wondering:
Dorian Finney-Smith is under contract after this season for 3 years, $43 million. Dinwiddie has one year left at $19 million. – 3:43 PM

Running quick math (I’ll confirm later), it doesn’t look like Kyrie Irving or Dorian Finney-Smith have to waive any part of their trade bonuses for this deal to go through. – 3:41 PM

Dorian Finney-Smith’s trade bonus is worth $539,036 if the trade is executed today.
This framework lowers Brooklyn’s tax penalty by roughly $18M, down from $108M to just under $90M. The Nets still need to send back or cut another player, so there could be room for more savings. – 3:14 PM

Meghan Triplett: Nic Claxton on Kyrie Irving: “That’s still my brother [and] my mentor. We’ll continue to have a close relationship off the court. Our relationship always transcended basketball.” Claxton described Irving as “one of the best teammates” he has had. -via Twitter @Meghan_Triplett / February 6, 2023
Andrew Greif: Ty Lue called Kyrie “a huge talent. Dallas has to be very ecstatic getting him and puts another guy like Kyrie in our conference now so I don’t like that. But whatever is best for Ky I’m happy for him like I said because we have a relationship back in 2016 which was great for us” -via Twitter @AndrewGreif / February 6, 2023
Dallas Mavericks PR: The Dallas Mavericks have acquired eight-time All-Star Kyrie Irving along with Markieff Morris from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 first-round pick and two future second-round picks. -via Twitter @MavsPR / February 6, 2023
