Kyrie took to Twitter following his trade to the Mavericks.

Kyrie Irving stunned the basketball world on Friday when it was revealed that he requested a trade out of Brooklyn. Just a week prior, Kyrie had stated that he hoped to remain with the Nets on a long-term deal. However, it was made clear that the Nets were trying to add unique stipulations to the deal. For instance, Kyrie would only get four years guaranteed if the Nets won a title this year. Overall, Kyrie and his camp felt insulted by this and they promptly asked for a trade. On Sunday, Irving got his wish as the Nets sent him to the Dallas Mavericks. Subsequently, Kyrie Irving will get to play with the likes of Luka Doncic.

If you are a Mavericks fan, this is some amazing news. Fans have been begging for Luka to get some real help. Now, he will have a fantastic point guard who will certainly command the floor alongside him. Although some are concerned about Kyrie's fit with the team, they have clearly improved. In fact, some believe they could be the favorites to make it out of the Western Conference. As for Kyrie, he is just happy to get out of Brooklyn. However, that does not mean he isn't appreciative of the fans. While taking to Twitter, Kyrie thanked those who have been there for him.

Kyrie Irving Thanks Supporters

"Thank you NetsWorld fans and supporters for the Love on and off the court," Kyrie Irving said. "I will forever be grateful I got to live out my dream I had as a Kid with y’all. It will always be Love from me and my family." Kyrie's tenure with the Nets was definitely difficult. That said, the fanbase was always by his side as they knew just how truly talented he was. Now, the Nets are left with just Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, and some role players. If you support the team, it's hard not to feel a bit hopeless.

The Kyrie experiment in Dallas is going to start this week, and there is no doubt the whole NBA will be watching. Only time will tell whether or not Kyrie and Luka get along. Let us know what you thought of this trade, down in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the NBA.
