Report: Cleveland Cavaliers Agree to Send Kyrie Irving to Boston Celtics in Blockbuster Deal
- Updated: August 22, 2017
It’s official. The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to send point guard Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and Brooklyn’s 2018 first-round draft pick.
All-Star Kyrie Irving will waive his trade kicker to complete Cleveland's deal to Boston, league source tells The Vertical.

The news comes as a bit of a shock, as it had been previously reported that the Cavs were in serious discussions with the Phoenix Suns for a trade centered around Eric Bledsoe.
However, Thomas will give the Cavs all the scoring they can handle at the point guard position, essentially a carbon copy of Irving, while Crowder will give them a vastly underrated two-way player.
