https://t.co/Wr3qfZ5JBE the source of the current Cs-Cavs kerfuffle, for those who want to know.— justin quinn (@justinquinnn) August 30, 2017
The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly no longer seeking additional compensation from the Boston Celtics to complete the deal sending Kyrie Irving to Celts.
Of course, there's little to no official communications from Cleveland on the matter in any capacity, so technically speaking, they can say there never was anything else requested - but whatever you want to call the fiasco unfolding over this past week, it was bullshit, and now appears to be over.
Stay tuned for more information on the deal's (final - we hope) confirmation.

Cavs just got off the phone with Woj, Celtics should be getting a call from a Cleveland area code shortly.— James Stewart (@IAmJamesStewart) August 30, 2017

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure #Cavs were EVER looking for additional compensation from #Celtics. Seemingly monitoring market, though.— Adam Kaufman (@AdamMKaufman) August 30, 2017
