Dan Gilbert is the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Per the Plain Dealer's Terry Pluto, Gilbert, referring to trading Kyrie irving to Celtics), stated that "We (Cavaliers) killed it in that trade." Is that true? That remains to be seen, but his statement could become a reality depending on what transpires this summer and next season. The statement is at least premature. Let me explain.
The big question is whether or not Kyrie re-ups with Boston this summer. He has a player option, and certainly will opt out and negotiate as a free agent.
