CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers have granted Kyrie Irving’s request and traded the All-Star guard to the Boston Celtics for star guard Isaiah Thomas, Jr.,  forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Zizic and a 2018 first-round draft pick. Irving had asked Cavs owner Dan Gilbert to trade him so he could get out from LeBron James’ shadow, and Cleveland waited until it had a suitable package.
