Kyrie Irving had undeniable talent, and was readily available, but he also had baggage. A lot of baggage. The Dallas Mavericks took a shot and they're within two games of the NBA Finals.

Few saw this coming, even last week. The Indiana Pacers, deemed a third tier team in the East prior to the NBA season, are in the conference finals after beating the beat-up Knicks.

This time, should they offer everything up front? Hold...
