Yeah people talk about how Boston wouldn't want this to fail so they have to pony up. What about Cleveland?
CLE is in the same boat whether it fails compared to if they did nothing, with an unhappy star who wants to be traded. If the deal crumbles, CLE will still trade Kyrie, just to another team

There's way more on the line here for Boston. If the deal falls through, now they're stuck with an injured and likely unhappy IT4. How is that really comparable to CLE's situation?

Not really. Their situation before this trade is worse. There was a slight chance of making it work with Kyrie before, now that's done....and because of that the value they would get in return in another trade won't be good.
They're both screwed if the deal fails, but the impact to Boston is only going to be next year.....which would be the case anyway if IT wasn't going to be playing because of his injury.
