Kyrie Traded For Isaiah

Weeks following the Cavaliers NBA Finals loss to the Warriors, rumors begin to come out of Cleveland. Scoring point guard Kyrie Irving the former top pick of the NBA Draft, wanted out of Cleveland. No longer did Irving want to play with Lebron James. Kyrie wanted out of the shadows of Lebron. He and James during their 3 seasons together in Cleveland never missed an NBA Finals. All
3 times Golden State were the opponents. The Warriors won in 2015 and 2017 respectively. Cleveland won in 2016 with Irving hitting the championship clinching 3 pointer in Game 7 over Stephen Curry. This past season in Boston Isaiah Thomas help lead the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals at top overall seed. However they fell to the Cavs. Now the two scoring point guards who averaged over 25ppg last season are trading places. Keep in mind with this trade the nagging hip injury IT suffered and re injured in the playoffs that ended his post season. Yet if the trade sticks, both teams open up the 2017-18 season against each other.
