--Thinks the plane ride was overrated. Said the only plane ride that meant something in Celtics history he knew of was after Game 7 in 2010, when all of the Celtics boarded ready to end their run and Doc was about to quit coaching, and everyone talked themselves into another run from how close they got before.
--Thinks Kyrie will consider staying just from looking at his options not being super appealing, but that's more his opinion

Also, Simmons floats that he heard the Lakers held off on hiring Lue just in case Kyrie wants to go there. Apparently they don't like each other.

I might've missed some stuff. But that's the important parts.

Oh dear God.....the nightmare never ends.

Interesting though many think we lose both Kyrie and Terry now.

Thing is, the Celtics can match any offer for Terry. And if Kyrie leaves, Ainge probably does, unless it's stupid money, which certainly is a possibility.

"A lot of things weren’t fair to me, but it’s not about me," Rozier said. "That’s why I don’t b---- and complain,” Rozier said. "I don't give a f--- what nobody say, I sacrificed the most out of anybody. I'm a top point guard in this league. I feel like it's a fresh start, whether I'm here or whether I'm gone."

Rozier declined to comment on the Celtics' ability to match offers he might get in the offseason. When asked what he's looking for on the team he is with next year, Rozier remained candid.

"I’m looking forward to a family," Rozier said. "A team that treats me like a family and that’s gonna invest in me all the way."

There was an earlier rumor that Boston was supposed to trade someone prior to the deadline but it fell through at the last minute. No sources, but I believe that player was Rozier, that he asked Ainge to trade him so he can play the rest of the year with a larger role even if it's not on a playoff team.

Rozier really called himself a Top Point Guard?! I'm getting flashbacks to Reggie Jackson with the Thunder.

Reggie Jackson is actually not a bad comp. Though I'd give an edge on the defensive end to Rozier.

Even if it's stupid money he probably matches. Ainge LOVES Rozier

As a strong Kyrie supporter what's your take on the idea that his comments to the media re free agency had such a negative impact on team chemistry/morale? I suppose it is speculation rather than fact and some might say his team mates should have the fortitude not to be miffed by it and focus on themselves. I reckon the point is however that given his ability he was assumed to be a leader of the team and he really is not a leader. At all. When someone who is supposed to be a leader acts like a Beta rather than an Alpha then it can be damaging/unsettling, particularly when given his talent he saw a lot of minutes and shots?
