While the Kyrie Irving deal was not perhaps as lucrative as many would have expected for the sizzling hot guard, it certainly was fast. Only days after he asked to be traded from the Nets, it was all a done deal, with the Dallas Mavericks picking up the steal of the year.

For Dorian Finney-Sith and Spencer Dinwiddie, plus a 2029 first round and two second round picks, the Mavs get one of the most effervescent players in the NBA who they can pair with Luka Doncic.

As soon as the deal was done, Twitter did what Twitter does best, kicking off with a string of funny memes and gags, many made at Irving’s expense, others questioning the unlikely pairing of him with Doncic.
