Kyrie Irving rolled the dice this summer.

After he requested a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers, the organization could have dealt him anywhere. But he knew he wanted out and he was willing to take the major risk.

As it turned out, Irving landed in a beneficial situation. During an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, the All-Star point guard said he considers the move to the Boston Celtics "well worth it."

From the conversation featured in the above video:

How important is Irving's happiness in Boston? Beyond his individual well-being, the 25-year-old will need to make a decision on his future when his contract expires after the 2018-19 season (because of a likely salary increase, he is expected to decline his player option for the following season). The Celtics need to sell him on staying for his next deal, and seem to be doing an impressive job so far.
