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

[bl2k8]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to send Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics in a deal for Isaiah Thomas, league sources told The Vertical.

The Celtics are sending Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn’s 2018 first-round pick to Cleveland, league sources told The Vertical.

Irving has agreed to waive his trade kicker to complete the deal, league source said.

Irving requested a trade July 21 after meeting with the Cavs, and his status has been a constant storyline this offseason.

Thomas, a two-time All-Star, is coming off his best season for Boston, averaging 28.9 points and 5.9 assists. His season ended because of a hip injury during the Celtics’ loss to the Cavs in the Eastern Conference finals.

Irving averaged 25.2 points and 5.8 assists for the Cavs, who lost to the Golden State Warriors, in the NBA Finals. The four-time All-Star helped the Cavs win an NBAchampionship in 2016 and was the 2011-12 NBA Rookie of the Year.

Isiah Thomas is like a poor man's Kyrie Irving. Such a dumb ass trade. Trading your assets for a slight upgrade. Ainge should of gone all in for PG.
