The addition of Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks raised some doubts whether or not he can co-exist with ball-dominant Luka Doncic.

Dallas head coach Jason Kidd talked about this matter, saying that positions don’t matter in at this time’s sport.

“In today’s game, you know, the positions don’t matter. It’s about the last name and talent,” Kidd stated, per Andy Larsen.

“He’s all about basketball,” he stated about Irving. “He wants to win and he wants to be coached, and this is a great opportunity.”

Kidd additionally remembered Jalen Brunson who labored nicely within the backcourt with Doncic. He says that Irving, who’s on a distinct degree, will make the sport simpler for his teammates.

“We look back at when we had JB, being able to have a play-maker like that. When you look at Ky — nothing against JB — but Ky is at a different level, so this gives us another weapon. Someone’s going to be free,” the Mavs head coach stated, per Callie Caplan.
