Unbelievable... Out of all teams Kyrie ended up going to BOSTON. A team LBJ will see plenty of times this year (including their very first game)! This really makes me wonder sometimes if the NBA is scripted or not haha.
I feel like Boston gave up too much for Kyrie... IT, Crowder, Zizic, AND a BKN 1st round pick is a lot. Cleveland definitely got its money's worth for a player who openly asked for a trade... Usually once this news surfaces it brings the value down since other teams offer less with their trade offers.
Should be an interesting NBA season come October!
Yes, I agree that Boston gave up a ton, but they get an upgrade over IT who would have wanted a max deal next summer and now have a legitimate shot of making the finals.
I think part of the reason Kyrie's value stayed higher than other players who demand trades is that Cleveland was willing to keep him through the start of the season. Plus it's not like he has a no-trade clause to determine where he went.
