Snagged: AP sources say Cavs reviewing Irving-Thomas trade
CLEVELAND — Just when it appeared the Cavaliers’ chaotic summer had calmed, there’s a flare-up.
That blockbuster deal between Cleveland and Boston is stuck.
The Cavaliers have some concerns about guard Isaiah Thomas’ health and are doing a “deep and thorough” review of the deal that brought him over from the Celtics, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday.
On Tuesday, the Cavaliers rocked the NBA by honouring All-Star guard Kyrie Irving’s trade request and dealing him to the Celtics — one of their biggest rivals — for Thomas and a lucrative package that included an unprotected 2018 first-round draft pick.
