Y'all acting like IT didn't just average damn near 30 a game on better efficiency than Kyrie playing with a bunch of offensive nobodies. Y'all acting like IT wasn't the best 4th quarter scorer in the league. How exactly is swapping him and Kyrie a downgrade?
Cleveland has improved in your opinion?

I would've kept Kyrie if I was the Cavs. Not feeling this trade, but I was never high on Isaiah even after last season.

49ers..Braves..Celtics
On the other hand, Ainge is probably thinking that the Celts have reach the peak with a team built around IT.

He's probably thinking IT is too injury prone and too small to be worth the max.

The celts could possibly be worse this year but in his mind they weren't beating the Warriors yet anyway.

So if you look into the future they would be sitting on Kyrie, Hayward, Tatum and Brown. That's a very good young core.

I mean....pure business stand point....your capped out while laying IT less than 7mil a year...he's spoken 40 times about wanting the max next year...when he's 30.

You can get a incredibly similar player who is 5 plus years younger and under contract for 2 more years at over $10 million less a year than you'll have to pay IT.

Tell me why Danny Ainge is stupid again for looking at this deal??

If kyrie is frustrated playing next to LeBron and love, he's gonna be mad sharing the count with haywood and horfodd, not to mention the WOAT shooting player ever In Marcus Smart
