Boston adds 2nd round pick to finalize the Kyrie Irving trade

[kingdarius]

cavs won because of crowder and the pick. Isaiah and kyrie cancel each other out basically even tho kyrie is a better rim finisher. Cavs were winning the east anyway but the playoffs will be more interesting just because u know the cavs and celtics prolly gonna meet

2-5 not 1?

Where that pick lands is going to determine whether or not Ainge made good on this trade or not. I do believe the lakers are at best a bottom 8 or so team in the league, so this will be interesting.

If it's the 1 the Sixers keep it, either way Ainge has done some weird shyt this summer.

side note: Thomas can really help Felder out in his development

I'll say this now....Kyrie is very likely to stay put in Boston.

I still would've taken Fultz. Them losing Bradley is a bigger deal to me.

I don't know how the Celtics are going to stop ball penetration and elite offensive wings.

Jaylen ain't ready to do that full time. Gordon is missing Gobert.

He's gonna have to be ready

So when Ainge didn't give up assets for an elite player yall bashed him. Now that he has yall bash him anyways


Boston won this trade hands down. We would have bee lucky to get a Kyrie level player in next year's draft.

Bruh yall werent supposed to keep the draft pick. Yall were supposed to package the pick for Butler or George while keeping IT.

I agree
Thomas can drop 25-30 a night easily, and not like Kyrie was Gary Payton on d

They have enough guys who can shoot the 3 at a 40 percent clip so ehh

Isaiah seems like a good locker room guy who just cares about winning so he won't be a Kyrie cancer out there

Plus the Celts Cavs games are gonna be

Crowder is excellent as well

A big upgrade even if he just takes Richard Jefferson minutes

The Cavs won the trade IMO, they have long coveted Jae Crowder, and they got a replacement for Kyrie in Thomas who can score, while also getting the Nets pick.

Reunited

Sixers gonna be the best east team long term. Feel like Boston just ruined their future.

Hope Kyrie happy where he at tho, maybe he'll like playin on the celtics better

Jaylen is a good defender and can develop into a great defender, Smart is still on the team, Tony Allen on the market and he's a Celtic, Rozier is a very good defender too.

Small Forwards are going to be a problem but Hayward is not a liability and Morris can switch.

 

[Gyasi85]

if this deal goes down im turning in my Cavs gear & just being only a Bron fan...

 

[jwinfield]

Yal realize that in 2 years Boston's going to be looking for another PG for the future if Kyrie doesn't sign right?

The fukk

They've already got their pg

 

[jaguar paw]

He's gonna have to be ready

I can't picture him guarding LeBron who regularly rips him apart. He just isn't strong enough....and his frame isn't big enough.
