In an interview with Shannon Sharpe, former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban opened up about why the team traded for Kyrie Irving after he had several controversial seasons at his previous teams.

Before I did the work, I thought Kyrie was a team killer. I was like, ‘He’s not going to fit in anywhere.’ I never talked to people about him. There was no point.

Mark Cuban said he was under the impression Kyrie Irving was a 'team killer' before the Mavericks traded for the star guard.

The former majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks discussed his initial thoughts on the eight-time NBA All-Star.

Kyrie Irving spoke with NBA reporters on September 28 and the All-Star point guard talked about why he re-signed with the Dallas Mavericks in free agency this offseason.
