Kyrie traded to the Celtics! Got Hayward last month. We taking this league over again soon.
lol,kyrie
Celtics got fleeced. Ainge must have been drunk.
Brooklyn pick will be top 3. Kyrie plays as much defense as Thomas and is far less durable. Not sure Thomas will fit well into a team where he can't handle the ball 100% of the time. Cavs got the better deal because they got the pick.How do you figure? Kyrie is better than IT. Crowder is overrated filler trash, never cared for him. Zizic and the Nets pick? Take it all. About time Ainge did something.

They keep that pick or trade it to the Bulls for Wade.lol.
So the Cavs traded Kyrie for IT, pretty much equals...except Kyrie is a more valuable player being younger/2 years on deal. I'd argue he's slightly better than IT, too. But they also added Crowder and the Brooklyn pick, so I guess I can't be too mad. Solid trade, it depends on what they do with the pick. Next draft is loaded.

Cavs showed some interest earlier in the off-season.Is someone going to build a time machine for that to make sense?

Clear cap space at deadline with him expiring.And if they get him it will be after the Bulls buy him out. No chance they would trade for him. No chance he is worth anywhere near that much also.

They were bidding against themselves. Who could have offered anything comparable to that?
And consider that George and Butler were traded for peanuts.
Dude, how many times do People have to inform boston fans... Irving is an absolute sieve on defense. Nearly as bad as IT.
What are you talking about. I was never a fan of Kyrie other than he wore a Cavs jersey. Go read my posts on WCG. Guy plays zero defense, just like IT. Have you seen how this team did when he led it without LeBron?
Irving is more talented and younger thus a more valuable player. But you sitting here saying you are so glad you got rid of an awful defensive player was just begging for someone to call your ass out... because Kyrie is dreadful on defense. Absolutely god awful.
So congrats. You acquired a marginally better player than IT and gave up Crowder and possibly the #1 pick for him.
This is gold. Another meltdown in Cleveland, i love it! Not really, i actually feel for you man. Lebron is leaving town after this season and all hopes of beating the Warriors this year and maybe even the Celtics just went up in flames. That's unfortunate. I was actually hoping Kyrie and Lebron could hug it out and take one more shot at the champs.
But i'll take the consolation prize for getting our asses beat in last ECF.. because Thomas was such a defensive liability and Crowder sucks. Killed two birds with one stone there. Kyrie isn't half as bad on defense as IT, the fact that he's not a midget already makes him much better.
Sadly for you, even on the slight off chance that you guys do beat Cleveland this season, Golden State will still destroy you just like they would us...so...
Nah, we always give the Dubs a run for their money and that was with IT and Crowder. Now we got Kyrie and Hayward. It's going to be a showdown, whether it's this year or next. We beat them in their building twice the last two years. Nobody else can say that.
As far as the trade goes, you guys definitely got a great deal. If Brooklyn absolutely sucks again and you get the #1 pick and the player isn't a bust. You never know. Well, as a Cavs fan you should know. Does Anthony Bennett ring a bell?
Man I don't know if you're serious or not. You guys are going to get absolutely massacred if you play them. Just like everybody else.
You'd think that but who knows. I don't think they're unbeatable, you just have to frustrate them. My only concern is we traded our best defender away in Bradley who could contain either Curry or Klay. I'm not expecting white man Hayward to contain Durant but we'll see what we can do.
I don't think players like JR Smith and Kevin Love scare the Warriors. They're as soft as charmin. We have the backbone to get it done. Curry ain't gonna like Smart when he bullies him. Celtics are a rebounder and paint enforcer away from doing work. Too bad Dwight Howard is off in space, he'd be all we need. I hear Anthony Davis is the next puzzle piece though, so stay tuned.
Dude how much of your starting lineup from last year is even still there? Horford? Acting like you have some grit squad now... I mean you added Kyrie, he isnt that type of player he's a finesse scorer. I doubt NO is trading you Anthony Davis either, unless you're giving them the remaining war chest.
Irving for Boston is better because his age does align with how young your team is. I like that. But you aren't beating Golden State. Definitely not as currently constructed. Probably not even Cleveland. If you go and add another star player, then we can start talking.
And believe me I wish someone would beat GSW.
IT is much more clutch than KI. As a wizard fan I know this firsthand.Good trade but IMO Ainge gave too much, especially the Nets pick. But why this trade though? Irving and Thomas are basically the same type of player. Both ISO/scorer PGs. I thought IT fits well with the Celtics and he's like the heart and soul for them.
