In this YouTube short, Warriors forward Draymond Green expresses his concerns about the trade that sent Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks. He emphasizes Kyrie’s elite scoring ability, exceptional ball-handling, and his capacity to spot‑shoot, noting that while both Kyrie and Luka Doncic are known for needing the ball, Kyrie’s shooting ability adds a new dimension. Green argues that this combination will create a particularly difficult matchup for opposing defenses, making the Mavericks a tougher team to guard.

I don't love it. Reason I don't love it, that's very hard to stop. It's very hard to stop. Kyrie Irving is one of the best scorers we've seen. One of the best, if not the best ball handler we've seen. Tough shot taker, tough shot maker. Kyrie Irving also can spot shoot. And that's what makes it interesting because everyone says, oh, Kyrie needs the ball, Luka needs the ball. That's true. But Kyrie can actually spot shoot and Luka, as we know, finding you. So I don't love it from that standpoint. Not I don't love the trade, not I don't love— I don't love it because that's going to be tough, tough, tough to guard.
