So what does former Blue Devil Jayson Tatum think about the big trade for Kyrie Irving?
He’s happy about it - and happy not to have been traded already. And Cleveland definitely wanted him.
Turns out he and Irving have the same agent and vacationed together this summer.
The good news for Tatum in this trade...well there’s a lot.
First he gets a superstar on his team.
Second, Boston didn’t give up their really solid young core. This is definitely a team on the rise.
And third, Boston preferred to keep Tatum and gave up (potentially another) #1 pick which means they must really feel great about building around Tatum.
