Why did Kyrie run away from Tatum and Brown?

[Roddy]

damn my dude got yall to the point where someone made a gif about him?

This is us when he is among us on the Celtics board :

[Lalouie]

kyrie is a man child in search of happiness. happiness to a child is having the candy store all to himself.
krie didn't have it @cavs. he thought maybe he could get it @bos but all he had was adversity. children don't like adversity. they want everything spoon fed.

he tried to act grown up by making all manner of pronouncements stating his coming of age as a responsible adult,,,,like "i have more admiration for lebron now", but the fact is he never had his way. then of course the team flopped. so like a child, kyrie is running away from a potentially great situation because someone handed him a gold plated key to another candy store

The stories will leak once the season gets going.

Writers are sitting on stories but they can't dish this stuff now before training camp starts-
They will get no quotes during camp if they do. They have to wait until the season is gong and everyone is distracted before they drop these stories.

I think this pretty simple tho-
They missed going to the Finals by ONE game without Kyrie.

It was a fun team, they rallied around Scary Terry and Kyrie was NOT on the bench at the games cheering them on.
When they lost that Game 7 at home it's not like Kyries was in the locker room consoling them and telling them next year he was gonna push them over the top.

I'm pretty sure they started training camp thinking they really didn't need him that bad since LeBron was now in LA.

But I think he came in and told them 'if I played last year we would have won the East!" and those guys were like 'dude the only reason we lost that game is because LeBron put on his cape, played all 48min and the refs gave him the calls because they wanted those ratings for GSW vs LeBron......'

Anybody that thinks Tatum is a present “superstar” should be publicly reprimanded

Man I am so tired of the Tatum HYPE! Just because he worked out with Kobe last summer does not make him the next protege. Geez.

Kyrie wanted to be closer to home and he was afforded an opportunity to play alongside a good friend of his, it’s a once in a lifetime chance. Let that man live.

[Prokorov]

Jayson Tatum was considered a present/future superstar at 19, and Jaylen Brown is seen as a future multiple All-Star. Why would Kyrie leave a situation like that?

because they have enormous egos, would not accept their role, the Brooklyn situation is much better for him (he comes home to the team he grew up cheering, He teams up with another superstar, he joins a team of humble young players, and he gets to play with 2 of his closest friends)

[Prokorov]

Because he is a coward afraid to see some kids getting more attention than him.

No risk with Dinwiddie or Joe Harris...

Or Durant? Stop it, nobody was getting more attention on the Celtics than Kyrie. Very few people in the league have, his name was in the media constantly. He really gave up on Brad Stevens and Danny Ainge, that's why he left. And it seems he didn't like Boston either. His father played there in college, maybe he heard some stories.

Durant is out for a long time, remember ?

And Kyrie was in the media not because of the good things he has done/has to say.

When your management/team/fans are happy to move on from a "star"...thats not a good sign.

Pressure is on Tatum and Brown now, they need to prove what they can do now that the weirdo is gone.

boston trashed everyone on the way out. Allen and Rondo won them titles... go back and look at the response to when those guys left. they still sell anti - ray allen shirts outside the garden. Boston is great to its athletes when things are going good. but they are as fickle a fanbase as ti gets when things go south

[Prokorov]

damn my dude got yall to the point where someone made a gif about him?

the amount of real estate i occupy in their brains is unfathomable. They banned me from even reading the celtics board but still follow me around all over and even into our nets board. one guy even PM'd me asking if my sources are legit or not

[I_Like_Dirt]

That team was better without Kyrie. Should have kept Terry Rozier.

Sharing an opinion with the Charlotte Hornets isn't a common sign of it being a good opinion.

the fans and majority of boston love rondo. they respect the hell out of him for the toughness he showed and his contributions to winning a championship and contending for more for several years. always gets cheers and always held in regard so this is just pure bs that you're spewing in terms of how he is treated today or how he is remembered and regarded.

when he was traded most of the fan base was mad because they wanted to build around him and they thought the package we got for him wasn't enough.

rondo caught flack for causing distractions like smashing a tv with a water bottle in the playoffs and not getting along with doc all the time. the 2 now are still very close today. rondo speaks nothing but praise for the celtics, the fans, ownership and his time here.

as for ray allen it's mixed emotions many are over it and respect him for being such a key part of the KG era and others still hold resentment that he left boston for lebron and the heat.

''boston is great to it's athletes when things are good but they are fickle as it gets when it goes south''.....welcome to sports, the reality is sports fans are all fickle and it's what have you done for me lately. Boston is no different in this regard than anywhere else and most def no different than any other passionate fanbase from a big city.

the celtics organization is renowned for giving ex players, coaches, staff employees jobs and helping them out.

hence why one team let him walk and the other is paying him $20 million per. why one team gave the all nba PG a max contract and the other let him walk away without trading him for assets knowing that they weren't going to offer him his max for months.

[queridiculo]

Boston is a whole lot better than Cleveland, but if you read between the lines it was always going to be New York.

The only shot the Celtics had was to put together a legit title contending team and that just didn't happen, Ainge blew it.

any Celtic fan PM him to see if his sources are legit are just flat out trolling him. You got to know at least that right?

Prokorov's alt account?

It has been years since he left. Look back at the response when he was moved. much different.

organizaiton yes. fans/media not so much

[SichtingLives]

We talkin bout the Kyrie who humiliated himself, lost all respect in his own clubhouse and left Boston with his tail between his legs? Or is this some totally different Kyrie?

[TheBoi10]

Because Kyrie noticed the team was highly overrated and fraudulent, he also didn't like being in that city as Jackie MacMullan said.

i don't need to look back at it....i lived in boston and have been on this site and others when it happened. there were questions to rondo being the number 1 and franchise player and his attitude by some. virtually every player is questioned by some segment of a team's fan base but just because there's a fraction of a fan base against a player- it doesn't speak for the majority.

fans and media?...the fans love the players you brought up. the media is like any major city hard on it's players to begin with but also more scrutinized when the team/city has heightened definition of success based on past success with the team's they cover.

you let a segment of the fan base or media speak for whole instead of what they are- a small percentage and that's not how it works. there will always be, in any market a player that is divisive or a player that doesn't get along with the media and that does NOT equate for the large percentage of fans who love that player.

Maybe Kyrie wanted to go home and play for Brooklyn, it's not a tough thing to consider. Getting KD to join you is icing on the cake.

Why did Horford run away from Tatum and Brown?

$70 million dollars, it's pretty simple.

C'mon guys, do you best to not always default to drama and entertain reasonable alternatives.

HOLY SH*T, i'm dying.
