Almost since the beginning of free agency this summer, there’s been talk that Kyrie Irving wants to be traded. Well, several weeks later, a deal is done. Not only did Kyrie get traded, as he requested, but he will remain in the Eastern Conference as a new member of the Boston Celtics to face the Cleveland Cavaliers many times throughout the season. It will be a premiere matchup to watch old teammates battle each other, but that’s not why you’re reading about this on a Marquette-centric website. You’re here because the Celtics gave up former Marquette star and 2012 Big East Player of the Year Jae Crowder in order to acquire Kyrie, or perhaps more accurately, the Cavaliers gave up Kyrie in order to acquire Crowder.
