Kyrie probably **** talked the organization. Celtics continue to be a LeBron's Mercy.

For the first time today, I feel less confident about the AD deal.

Kyrie making it public he is gone, with or without AD as Celtics gain leverage?

Kyrie, LeBron, media, and Klutch are DELIBERATELY sabbotaging the Celtics. Filthy. Danny, get AD. Don't back down. The assumption is that the Lakers are getting AD.

Kyrie **** us, and helps get AD to the Lakers, leaving us defeated. Oh well, gotta potentially take this loss in the AD war. Danny's master plan of 8 years, destroyed by his father, LeBron, and his son Kyrie.

Lol

You view losing Kyrie and AD as a bad thing...I think the opposite.

Boston isn't built to win now. Pairing Davis and Irving never would have made us better than Toronto or Golden State...

Maybe we should start by paying and playing people that have an actual vested interest in playing for this team and in this city. No more ass kissing these divas

How is Kyrie Jaylen Hayward Horford not competitive with Toronto and GS? Toronto isn’t even that good outside of Kawhi and Siakiam. Lowry is good and they have a few role players but they aren’t a super team.

Irving with the big middle finger to Ainge as he burns it to the ground on his way out the door.

Can’t wait too see him throw all his younger players under the bus when things don’t go his way :lol:


Maybe the Nets young players will be more likely to accept their roles.

The league doesn't want AD in Boston. Danny,for the sake of victory, trade Tatum and get AD.

Not sabotaged. This is what it looks like when Danny's plans totally unravel due to his own mistakes.

Can't be any worse than what he's endured from the home fanbase the last few months.

I mean, it was a good plan just had some rotten luck. Hayward’s and Kyrie’s injuries changed everything (especially Hayward’s). Just because it failed doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good plan.

Is every Nets player represented by ROC Nation? I don't think so. Maybe Kyrie feels that agency is better not only for his basketball career, but entertainment in general? Again, he's a FA and do anything, but nobody knows what he's thinking.

He did have some bad luck but after all is said and done after that trade with the nets Celtics only ended up with Tatum and brown.

It was a bad plan. It started with hiring a mid-major college player who had never coached star athletes and had zero interest in a rebuild. It continued with a half-baked "compete for first round playoffs and outsource the rebuild to Brooklyn" philosophy. And it died with a "let's surround veteran stars with immature young players and call it a dynasty" squad.

Lol, Kyrie wont play in Boston. After the first game two years ago, he never played in Cleveland again. Am expecting the trend to continue.

I feel like you're the only Celtic fan who has seen this from a long while back. Brads system needs a strong culture of working hard and playing for the team. Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Horford is a great base for that. Just need to add guys who can buy into that and wait for Brown/Tatum to bloom. I saw this problem with Kyrie coming from a mile away, I'm only upset that Celtics lost a season and partially derailed Brown/Tatum. It's recoverable, just need to bring in the right talent.

With Caris LeVert needing touches for a new deal. And Spencer Dinwiddie wanting to be the premier backup PG. Itll work wonderful :lol:
