The news that the disgruntled Kyrie Irving wanted to be moved was huge. So what word describes the actual deal? Gi-normous?
The Boston Celtics have acquired the high-scoring guard from the Cleveland Cavaliers for a hefty price. Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn’s first-round draft pick head to Ohio.
My first reaction to news of the trade was disappointment. The best thing for the Toronto Raptors would have been the dispatch of Irving to the far reaches of the NBA’s Western Conference. Hey, Kyrie, if you don’t like being LeBron James’s sidekick, how do you think you’d enjoy being the biggest name in Sacramento or Portland?
