At 25 years old this guy has a ridiculous resume.  I mean its just absurd.

I can't believe we had the assets to acquire a player like this and still keep our team intact. 

Im laughing out loud and gleefully waving goodbye to the 2018 Nets pick.

 (there's no argument in the world that can convince me an unknown draft pick and an unknown player will better then acquiring a player on Kyrie's level)

Also, to top it all off, we still have LA's pick next year so even though we traded a pick, we still HAVE ANOTHER ONE!! WHAT!!?! How is that possible?

How is Ainge this good?

Im still in shock.

Irving isn't a superstar unless you dumb down the term.  He's made all-nba team only once (3rd team in 2014-15).

Not even close to Bird in terms of superstardom.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

The last time Danny Ainge acquired 2 players coming off All-Star selections was 2007, when he traded for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.

Dayum.

That will happen when you spend your career living in LeBron's shadow

Irving is a superstar and he will be regarded as one in Boston for sure
