“Wild” is officially an understatement when describing the 2017 NBA offseason.
After a significant amount of moves this summer, more news dropped on Tuesday when Kyrie Irving was sent to the Boston Celtics in a package deal that includes another All-Star guard in Isaiah Thomas.
After the trade was announced, NBA players shared their thoughts on social media.
