After Kyrie Irving told management he wanted to be traded, they were hesitant at first. But, I guess they saw he was serious about leaving and didn't want to be there anymore. Kyrie wanted to be the number one guy and was tired of being in LeBron shadow, especially after hitting that dagger in game seven of the 2016 NBA Finals that won them the championship over the Golden State Warriors.
Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics last night, in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets 2018 first round draft pick. The best part of the trade for the Cavaliers was getting the Nets 2018 draft pick.
The shocking part is the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Kyrie Irving to their biggest threat in the Eastern Conference which was very surprising. The new addition of Kyrie to the Celtics makes them the favorite on paper to come out the East. With the tandem of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward that makes them a scary team. The Celtics may have lost IT, but they upgraded at the point guard position. Isaiah Thomas was a defensive liability because of his height; he also had hip problems. So the Kyrie trade was a slam dunk for the Celtics. The only part of this deal the Celtics lost in was giving up the 2018 Brooklyn Nets first round pick. The Celtics even got to keep young studs Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown which was very shocking.
