But he might have finally slipped up in his recent blockbuster trade, shipping All-Star point guard and the centerpiece of the new era Celts, Isaiah Thomas to the Cleveland Cavaliers, for their disgruntled star point guard, Kyrie Irving. Not only did he trade IT4, but he also shipped away, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and the Brooklyn Nets 2018 Draft pick.
The move has been met with much controversy and backlash both on social media and broadcast. The move is very lopsided and heavily in the Cavs favor, at least on paper. It throws on the chemistry that the Celts had, for sure, but there would have been an adjustment period with Hayward getting adjusted to their system.
