With Davis, Boogie and presumably Cunningham, I doubt Ajinca is in the rotation anyhow. Play small ball and Diallo as your 4th big(s) and the team isn't worse for it.Originally Posted by Mythrol

@DanielVeuleman
Not sure we would be saving enough in that deal to warrant a 1st rounder. I would pass.
I don't think AD and Cousins play all the center minutes when healthy at all.
Really? We gave them a better deal last year and they didn't take it what makes you think they'd take this one?

They don't want him. We are doing them a favor
Also we gave them a better deal because we over estimated his value.
They didn't want him last year either.

It's a done deal. Kyrie is a Celtic.
And the Cavs are about to get a damn good unprotected pick and Isaiah Thomas.
The Kings and Pacers got nothing in comparison.
Well they didn't get PG but they do have kyrie
The Pacers were dumb to make that deal, they should have held out and could have probably gotten something better from the C's.
At least Kyrie stays in the east.
Does this mean we get Melo?Lol
Damn, Cleveland gets Thomas, Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn's 2018 first-round pick for Kyrie Irving.
That's a steal by Cleveland for a guy that demanded to be traded.

Kings and Pacers were dealing with stars on expiring deals. Kyrie has an extra year. I was pretty shocked at first, especially with the Nets pick being involved, but it makes a lot of sense for Boston:
-Kyrie brings a lot of the same and is younger, lateral move immediately but better long term outlook.
-Younger star works with long term plan involving Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
-Boston did not want to deal with paying IT a max contract.
Cleveland got as much as they could hope for. If LeBron is done with them after this year then they can let IT walk as well and try to get a lotto pick for Love and/or Thompson and go rebuild with a Nets (likely) lotto pick and whatever they can get for Love. Really hard to see LeBron and IT being paid by Cleveland next offseason.
It's the type of deal that would have been hated on by fans if another fan suggested it, but I can see how it works for both sides. I think both Kyrie and IT have murky value as far as star players go.
Interesting point on this trade: The #1 and #60 pick in the 2011 draft are essentially being dealt for one another.
So do you think there is a chance that we could make a play for Kyle Korver that the Cavs would accept?
He can't be traded till December

Cause he just signed his contract huh, ok gotcha
Nice deal for the Cavs. I am surprised Ainge gave up that much. Did they really have that much competition for him in the way of solid deals from other teams?
I'm guessing Danny watched the Finals the last couple years and fell in love. I think it makes a lot of sense for the Celtics and balances out their 'win now and also win later' philosophy nicely.
Brooklyn pick + Thompson for Drummond? Brooklyn pick + Love for Melo?
Danny just got hosed.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Boston now has a cornerstone.
It saves you enough money to re-sign Cunningham and have a C that can actually play.
You could then add Minny's 2nd rounder or our's which ever you think will be worse with Ajinca to add another shooter.
So glad Kyrie didn't come West
He just got the coveted Nets pick and a very good role player as well as IT. He didn't get hosed
Edit: Wait I was thinking you meant Danny Ferry
Yeah Cavs did very well out of the trade
I think we can officially say that LBJ will be gone next offseason. Ain't going to win a title with that crew next year.
I think the C's won that.....slightly.
IT was not going to get overpaid by Boston and he is 29.
Crowder is a role player behind Howard and will want to get paid in a few seasons.
Zizic is unknown.
If you break it down it was Irving for the 2018 pick (top 5).
Just like it was Boogie for Heild and the 7th pick this year.
Maybe we got hosed?
