Maybe my theory isn't so "tin foil" after all. I just found this tonight out of Boston. These are direct quotes from Kyrie to the media on the 5th of February just 3-4 days after the Luka trade.
"We were discussing in 2018, just for everybody at home that's watching, because I know all of these words are going to be looked at."
"But yeah, in 2018, it was a dream for Me (Kyrie), AD, KD to be on one team and still keep JT and let him grow and then see how it goes. But back then, those young guys weren't ready to be in trade rumors, man. Our locker room splintered after that, once they found out. It wasn't [Jaylen Brown] or JT, but our locker room splintered once they started figuring out the trade rumors, and our season started going in a whole different way."
"We all had that vision to play together in Boston," Irving added. “Danny Ainge had a large responsibility in that, trying to make it happen, make sure I stayed in Boston. But we had some young pieces in JT and JB and if we would have traded either one of them, who knows if they win a championship. So the franchise had to do what was best for them, and I had to do what was best for me"
