The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics have reached an agreement to send Kyrie Irving to Boston in exchange for Isiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and an unprotected 2018 first round draft pick. The acquisition of Irving in addition to already adding Gordon Hayward makes the Celtics better than they were last year, but how much better?
Irving’s stat line in 2016/17 read 25.2 points and 5.8 assists per game while shooting 47 % from the floor, 40% from 3 point land and 90% from the line.
