Kyrie wants to see Mavs ‘build our future’

As the Dallas Mavericks were given up, substituting for all of their starters while being behind 21 points with less than 3 minutes until the end, Kyrie Irving walked to his former teammates at the Celtics to congratulate them for the title.

Kyrie returned to the Mavs bench and had a short talk with Luka Doncic as the Slovenian appeared for the 1^st time in his career at the NBA Finals.

“We said, ‘We’ll fight together in the upcoming campaign, and that we will do our best again,'” Luka claimed after the Mavs’ 106-88 defeat to Boston, who clinched their record-breaking 18th NBA title.

Kyrie labeled it as a “bitter” ending to a “really positive journey” for Dallas, who upgraded the role players in the past offseason, and that led them from a lottery finish to triumph at the West Conference.

The belief within the team is that the Mavericks could be a contender in the upcoming seasons with the right trades.
