I won’t be surprised that Kyrie will have a hard time to adjust on a team that has a high expectation on him. He was only replaced on the late stage of the regular season when Mavs is already on the verge of missing the playoffs. Kyrie is still doing his best to become part of his new team but adjustment is so hard if most of the key player of Mavs was traded for you and you will play on the remnant players that is not use to play with Kyrie.
We should give him next year for an adjustment. In fact, Mavs still doesn’t have a chance to proceed further on playoff even if they have spot due to there current roster condition.
I agree that his transfer to Dallas despite at the first few games where successful, still, it won't be just enough to adjust.
Well, we can reason out anything but that's really not looking good for the team when both have played together.
The expectation for him was really high and can't blame the disappointment not just from the fans but also from the team itself.
It was an expensive contract to them and a lesson as well. Anyway, everything has been seen already and we're starting to see teams getting out of the league for the season, play in schedule is within less than a week.
Expectations deteriorated pretty quickly. They ended the season absolutely terribly. If I were Mark Cuban I wouldn't even want Kyrie back. Nobody thought they'd miss the playoffs before this trade was made. Their epic collapse is a sign that star players don't have the skill gap over average players that they used to have. Everyone is better now and you can't give up important role players just to grab a star and expect to win. At this point I would be concerned if Kyrie signed with a team I care about. He's toxic and it doesn't matter how many highlights he can deliver, he hasn't been able to win since leaving LeBron James.
