Boston wasn't wanting to give Thomas a max contract next summer.
Boston also opened up lots of playing time for Brown and Tatum.
Irving and Gordon will be an awesome backcourt.
Boston has the Laker pick next summer, which is likely to be a top 5 pick. They should use it on Bagley, Ayton or Bamba if Brown and/or Tatum play well this year.
If Boston does that and extends Irving in 2 years that's a really good and young core.
Cleveland gets Thomas that should play really well with Lebron.
Also get a top pick that might entice James to stay, if James leaves they can trade Love for assets. Extend Thomas. And get a young stud to build around.
