The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics have agreed to a bombshell trade which sends Kyrie Irving to Boston for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets unprotected 2018 first-rounder.
This certainly makes the Eastern Conference interesting.

Isaiah Thomas drafted #60 is traded for Kyrie Irving drafted #1 and will start over Derrick Rose drafted #1. That's a cool story.
