This would be a stunner. It had been reported that the Celtics would be interested in Irving, but it seemed tough to believe they’d be willing to swap Thomas for him. For the moment, though, it seems Danny Ainge is at least willing to strongly consider a trade that would have a major impact on the courses of both franchises.
