Irving reportedly requested a trade from Cleveland last month, but the Cavs new front office -- at least up until Tuesday -- had yet to find a deal that would satisfy what they were looking to gain in exchange for the All-Star point guard in the prime of his career.

Thomas, 28, led the Celtics to the best record in the Eastern Conference last season, averaging 28.9 points and 5.9 assists over 33.8 minutes per game during the regular season. Kyrie Irving, the four-time All-Star that played a major role in the Cleveland Cavaliers winning their first championship in 2016 has been traded to the Boston Celtics for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first round pick. The 24-year-old point guard averaged 25.2 points and 5.8 assists per game last season despite falling short of back-to-back championships in a 4-1 NBA Finals series defeat against the Golden State Warriors. He also has one of the friendliest cap numbers in the NBA: $6.8 million, $7.3 million and $7.8 million the next three seasons.
In the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics swap All-Star point guards, with Isaiah Thomas going to the Cavaliers and Kyrie Irving to the Celtics. The Celtics also send the Cavaliers forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Žižić, and a 2018 first-round draft pick that they had previously obtained from the Brooklyn Nets.
