Wow! A proposal for the Rockets to trade 4 players for 1! Trade Kyrie Irving as fast as possible.

Oh~

The ever-concerned US media "FW" recently proposed a trade plan as follows:

Rockets get Irving;

Mavericks get VanVleet + Adams + 2029 first-round pick + 2030 first-round pick.

One gets an All-Star immediate contributor to strengthen the backcourt, the other gets quality future assets – a clear win-win~

Being traded to the Rockets or other playoff-level teams might not be a bad thing for 34-year-old Irving. This way, he would have a chance to chase his second career championship ring, instead of staying with a rebuilding team like the Mavericks, wasting his remaining time by just growing with young players.

Last season, the Rockets' lack of backcourt depth was fully exposed. After VanVleet was sidelined due to a right knee anterior cruciate ligament strain, they had to let Amen, a swingman, fill in as the starting point guard. They eventually finished the regular season with a 52-30 record, ranked fifth in the West, and were eliminated by the Lakers in the first round of this year's playoffs (4-2).

Back to Irving, the Mavericks currently have no plans to trade him. They plan to first see how he pairs with Flagg next season. If the chemistry between the two is not good, then he might be put on the trade block.

In late July this year, the insider Shams reported thatIrving's left knee anterior cruciate ligament tear suffered in March last year has 100% fully recovered, and during this time he has participated in multiple pickup games to find his game rhythm.

In the 24-25 season, before his serious injury, this guy played 50 regular-season games, averaging 36.1 minutes, 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, with shooting percentages of 47.3%, 40.1%, and 91.6%. Last summer, he agreed to a 3-year, $118 million extension with the Mavericks, and his current contract runs through the summer of 2028. His salary for the next two seasons totals $81.91 million.

Considering Irving's age, it will be difficult for him to return to his peak after recovering from injury. However, with his extremely refined skills, he is still more than capable of being a starting-level guard on any team, and he should spend his remaining prime where he truly fits.
