The Cavaliers and the Celtics have agreed on a deal that would send Kyrie Irving to Boston in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' unprotected first-round pick.
Irving asked the Cavaliers to trade him on July 21st, a move that surprised many around the league as the Cavs had been to three consecutive NBA Finals. Since the request, the Cavs have reportedly discussed deals with multiple teams, including the Suns and the Knicks, but a favorite to land Irving had not emerged until Boston on Tuesday night.
The reported deal involving these two All-Stars is one of the most impactful and surprising trades in the history of the league; Boston was the East's top-seed last season while Cleveland was the No. 2 seed, and the Cavs ended the Celtics' season by defeating them in five games in the Eastern Conference Finals last year.
Irving, 25, has two years left on his contract with a player option for the 2019-2020 season. Thomas, 28, will be a free agent after the 2018-2019 season and he said he expects to receive a max contract one he hits free agency. Crowder, 27, has three years left on a deal that will pay him around $7 million per season. The 23rd overall pick in the 2016 draft, Zizic, a 20 year old center, spent last season in Europe but signed with Boston on July 1st and will play in the NBA next season.

Can't believe the Cavs traded Kyrie Irving to the Celtics for Isaiah Thomas.
Hyped to see the eastern playoffs next year or just when these two teams play.
