    Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 unprotected first-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Kyrie Irving.
    Never imagined Cleveland might actually get the better of a trade for Kyrie. The trade was fair w/o that Nets unprotected first rounder. Well, at least a C's/Cavs playoffs matchup might end up being watchable next year, unlike this past postseason.

    Hayward/Irving/Tatum. Solid trio. Brad Stevens not having to coach just scrubs any more.

    It's probably as good as they could have gotten, but I think they should have held out for Jaylen Brown to be included. Cavs got a midget scorer who offers less defense than Kyrie, a decent starter, and a throw-in. Cavs are really depending on that draft pick to make it a good trade for them. What if that pick is say #7 or #8 instead of a top 3? Maybe the best return they could have gotten, but I'd have required just a little more.

    agreed if tatum was untouchable Brown might have been possible ...

    It's the Nets. So, top 6 is practically guaranteed; and they have a great shot at 1-4. Also, the Cavs get probably the best defender for Durant possible. Lebron can relax and guard Donkey or someone.

    Most drafts, the #6 pick is significantly different from a top 3 pick in terms of talent. Anything outside the top 2 is usually quite a step down in talent. That's why getting a young high potential talent like Jaylen Brown would have been something I would have pushed for. And with the Celtics adding Hayward and Tatum this summer, I do think Boston could have been pushed to include Brown.

    . Now they'll be yammerin' fresh here again.

    They'd all rolled over and were pleased as punch he wasn't coming when he wasn't coming. Now that it's a possibility again they'll roll back over...

    - "I've had some time to ponder this acquisition anew. And I really believe it's for the best...provided that Jackson is not included in the trade, of course. I hate like the ens to give up a fine man like Bledsoe, because he's been nothing but a dream since he came over from the Clippers. But, if it means we can get a one of a kind player like Kyrie then I have to go with that trade, albeit I'll miss the fine man that Bledsoe has become since he came here to Phoenix. *Plus, once Bledsoe hits free agency we can sign him again and bring him back to the desert where he really found a home and loved being here as we loved having him here."

    - Phoenix Media en mass

    * denotes Phoenix sports teams via Phoenix Media ALWAYS includes that promissory note about reacquiring traded player once they hit free agency. That way they cover their ass completely.
