From a Caste perspective the Kyrie Irving trade couldn't be any worse. The Celtics didn't really have a star player except for Isaiah Thomas and he was coming off a pretty bad injury and he probably wasn't going to be with the team much longer anyway. The Celtics were going to be Gordon Hayward's team. The Boston Celtics are the most successful team in NBA history and one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. And they're currently a good team that can contend for a championship. They have a brilliant young White head coach. They're on national television all of the time. And a White American player in his prime, playing one of the most Caste positions in all of sports(athletic white scoring forward), was going to be the face of that franchise. Hayward would have averaged at least 25ppg as the number one option in Brad Steven's offense. And he probably would have been a starter in the All Star game.
Now that's all over. The Celtics will be proclaimed Kyrie Irving's team. Irving is notorious for playing hero ball and being a chucker. And worst of all he has a huge chip on his shoulder from having to share the spotlight with LeBron James and he wants to prove he can be the undisputed leader of a team. Not good for the soft spoken well mannered Gordon Hawyard. Look for Kyrie to try and score 30 points each no matter how many shots it takes him. Hayward will be reduced to being his White sidekick.
