Kyrie is going to get paid less after extended and can be much better on defense if he commits. We can still get a top pick via the Lakers. Things will be okay.

Perhaps Kyrie will end up a beloved Celtic.Isaiah Thomas is one of my favorite players whose been in green since I became a fan. Period.I'm not sure where this vitriol for Kyrie is coming from. Sure, he gets iso-heavy at times, but he's proven to be unstoppable at times in three separate playoffs now. And he can actually play D when asked, which is more than can be said about IT.He was also easily the most likable player on that Cleveland team.Now, that doesn't mean I think this is a great trade. It's a pretty substantial overpay if there's no protection on the Brooklyn pick. However, I do think we're probably a better team for a longer overall time with Kyrie than we were with IT.All that we can know for sure is this - OPENING NIGHT IS GOING TO BE LIT! Hopefully IT is still recovering from his hip injury at that time, because I could see him going off in a revenge game against us. I can also see Kyrie going for 50 that night in his first night back in the Q lol

yea.. or if Cleveland trades that pick a package for Davis or some other star...
Where does IT end up after next season? Gold and Blue? and vs us in the 2019 finals?!
Have to figure Kyrie is going with jersey number 4
