You make some good points clay about Irving being bummed about not going to the best situation possible for him, but his primary objective is still to leave Cleveland more than anything else. He may prefer Boston and indicate he would re-sign here, but if it's between PHX/MIL and staying in Cleveland, he will absolutely choose to go to PHX/MIL.
It's not like he has some connection to Boston or affinity for the city, he was just traded here 4 days ago. However, if he wants to make a big deal about not coming here, then I am all for it.
