I actually really like this deal for Boston. You get Kyrie on a relatively team friendly deal for the next two years as opposed to having to pay Isaiah the max next year, and I think Kyrie is a better player than Thomas so they upgrade there. Losing the Brooklyn pick is tough as that's a potential top 3 pick, but are any of the guys you get in this draft class going to get you to compete with the Warriors? Probably not for a few years when the Warriors aren't even the Warriors anymore. Jae Crowder is also huge to lose because he had probably the best contract in the league and had the length to play in Brad Stephens' three position system.
On the other hand, Isaiah has to regress to the mean after having one of the top-ten most efficient offensive seasons in the history of the league. I also think he takes a dip since he won't be handling the ball as much with LeBron around.
I think the trade actually helps both teams, but I don't think either of them are going to compete with the menace out West in Golden State.
Menace huh? Go Dubs! :) In my opinion this deal favors the Cavs..the key being that draft pick.
