Back in the offseason of 2017, the Cleveland Cavaliers were beginning a new chapter in their teams history. Long time point guard Kyrie Irving had had enough of playing second fiddle to LeBron James and told the Cavaliers front office that he wanted to be traded from the team.
The team and newly-appointed general manager Koby Altman gave in to Irving’s requests eventually and he was traded to the Boston Celtics in return for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and an unprotected first-round pick from the Brooklyn Nets.
