Apparently the deal is done
The Celtics and Cavs have reportedly engaged in "finalized" discussions regarding a trade that would send Kyrie Irving to Boston in a package that would include Isaiah Thomas and draft picks.
The teams are still fine tuning the deal, but initial reports indicate that Jae Crowder and Ante Zizic would also be included in the package that Boston would send to Cleveland in exchange for Irving. In terms of fantasy hoops, Thomas wouldn't be quite the same usage monster he was with the Celtics as a member of the Cavs, and Derrick Rose would somewhat complicate the equation, so he'd likely see a slight dip in value in Cleveland. Crowder might not even start with the Cavs, so his value would take a fairly large hit.

First game of the NBA season: Kyrie Irving and the Celtics at Cleveland. Oct. 17.

Saw they're getting Brookly's =pick next year too. If so that's an insane for Cleveland.
Irving isn't worth all that. -
Great deal for both sides
-
Warriors in 3.

If I was James I'd sit out the year to be fresh for the Lakers
I understand Cleveland needing to have something when he goes but that's a fucking stupid trade -

You're a known Kyrie hater. And that Brooklyn pick, while still good, probably doesn't have top 3 value. They have actual players now and the east is so bad they could win 25 games and be the fifth worst team in conference.dnc said:Saw they're getting Brookly's =pick next year too.

I hope u guys are being sarcastic.... No chance Boston beats them this year in playoffs. Also apparently they are trying to get DWade back with LeBron to entice him to stay. Crowder gives them someone to at least pester KD and let LeBron rest a lil on D.

I actually like the trade for both teams.
Clevelands only chance at winning the title was if the Warriors lose Draymond, Steph or Durant to injury. I think this team is still good enough to beat the Warriors with an injury. And if it doesn't work out and Lebron bolts they get a nice pick.
Boston gets one of the 5 best offensive players in the league, Kyrie finally gets a good coach and he doesn't have to carry the team which is what he hasn't proven he can do. -
Warriors in 5
