Anthony Davis Requests Trade, pt 2

[Celts17Pride]

By the way, I’m not saying Kyrie Irving is leaving the Celtics but every free agent that ever existed always says they don’t know what will happen but their team is still the front runners.

Looks like the media is winning this one.

When Kyrie is still a Celtic, AD is in LA, and no one is on the Knicks, you best believe I will act like an over confident thickhead.

I was called an idiot who isn't a real Celtics fan for constantly correctly assessing IT's ceiling as a player by posters I consider friends on here. I never took it personally. Melting is exactly what the NYC media and Klutch want out of this. They want people posting about this on twitter. They want Cs fans to panic and insult Kyrie. Chaos is a ladder.

Ok man. But my point is I’m not talking **** based on others opinions, so who the **** gives them the right to?

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm saying that people I genuinely love on here laid into me HARD (way harder than being called "plastic") for simply criticizing an incredibly overrated player and the role he played in the future of the team and I had to just take it.

It's the unfortunate reality of this forum and modern times in general. No on pulls punches anymore.

Fair enough. Then the next person to call me plastic can suck my dick.

And to be clear, you’ve been completely respectful of everyone’s POV during this so far.

Even Bulpett now says that "doors are open for speculation"

Boom. Even Bulpett is a little iffy then it’s very real.

Honestly **** Kyrie if he’s thinking about leaving. Think about it, Celtics can possible get Davis this summer if Kyrie re-signs. Is a team of Kyrie, Brown, Hayward, Horford, and Davis not good enough for him??! That’s a championship team right there. Durant and Kyrie on the Knicks with average role players is not better than that possible Celtics scenario which could very well happen especially if Davis isn’t traded by the deadline.

Dont say anything negative or you are "melting people". Fu** some of you guys. This board is becoming mediocre.
People have the right to say anything they want.
I like Kyrie on the court, but I don't like him off the court. I dont care if Danny trade his ass before thursday. It's all about the Celtics, I don't care about the players as long as this team is winning. Danny is probably the best GM in this league, if he wants to trade Al, Smart, Kyrie or anybody else, I will trust him more than some "experts" on this board.

This 100%. I was going after this yesterday. Complete bull. The little melting memes. The plastic comments. It’s bitchy ****. My take is that I’m going to remain a realist and there is a very real potential that he leaves. Calling some of us plastic is the equivalent of me calling those people over confident thickheads. Just stupid. Exactly the reason why I never post here. This board has changed over the last 10-15 years.

Agree 100%

Except on AD

I have no idea what Kyrie will do but the fact that he is backtracking from his original comments means that resigning with the Celtics is not a slam dunk. Can’t take it any other way in my opinion

He's gone. The only way he probably stays is with AD and AD is telling "people" that he will not be happy in Boston. Maybe its because he wants LA maybe its because of Kyrie but in the oft chance that hes just hellbent on playing with LeBron in the warm weather i don't want AD corrupting whats left of the young core.

Biggest takeaway is that real reporters/journalists don't exist anymore. Everyone is spinning the story in a way that fits whoever gives them access to inside info/interviews etc.

NY/BOS/LA media each pushing their own narrative. Clowns like Charania and Haynes acting like PR agency for Rich Paul/LAL. In the end they all win because they generate clicks and get a lot of hungry eyes to tune in.

Drama can be fun, I love deadline day and draft day but when it's 24-7 for 10 months a year and actual basketball becomes secondary it's one big soap opera that turns me off.

I root for the C's not players, so if Kyrie decides to leave God bless him. I don't have a problem with him doing what's best for him but to say I'm staying if they want me, to make an ad with your dad and talk about wanting #11 to go up, and now change the story. Clown show.

So how y’all gonna twist this into a positive? He literally just decommited from his commitment lol

LOL

Of course.

He then goes on to say Boston is still his leading choice, and that he believes in the future.

Its still an unsure. But theres just as much pointing to him saying, at least

Dude, it doesn't matter anymore. That's what he realized. If he said it again "I'm staying with Boston" people would still twist his words. People would still cast doubt. People would STILL come back for another quote about it. People are going to speculate because that's what they want to do. And because speculation sells. That's why he says the industry is f'd up.

[sully00]

Kyrie has said twice in his interview with Trotta he believes in Bostons future and they are the front runners

He is staying! Forget about the out of context quotes

How can he say anything different when other teams haven't had a chance to pitch him yet? Celtics are in a great spot, definitely. There are great reasons for Kyrie to resign. But don't be surprised if some other team sways his opinion in case Celtics fail to acquire AD.

No, that ain't how this works. There are no pitches from other teams you sign the contract you said you were going to sign. Honestly if he doesn't clean this up it is over for him in Boston. He doesn't seem to be able to handle people talking about him in other cities how is going to handle the **** storm he just created for himself? The Boston media is going to crush him.

This is exactly true come on. Media taking things out of context, etc. What is Kyrie supposed to say? He can't ever say I'm 100% resigning simply cause it aint July the first and this ain't a marriage or something. This is still a business and he has to see how things went in the play-offs, he has to see if we will take care of the problems that will be there, or if we will upgrade the roster or what New York has to offer or what whoever has to offer. It's just because it's a business. It's also because he also knows there's always a chance we say good riddance to him if there's a deal on the table let's say Curry + Klay for Kyrie.

There's a lot of media and people who don't like Boston or who don't like Kyrie who are, succesfully it seems, trying to disturb our 'relationship'. I'm glad I can fully trust in Ainge and I do think this is exactly melting, since the only thing we're hearing here are pure f'n speculations from people trying to disrupt us. It's also not being naive cause I do believe there's a chance Kyrie is leaving but it's obviously a much bigger chance he's just staying. He himself is also clearly irritated by how all reporters are trying to stir things up while in the end it's just his decision on July the first. That's it. There's no way to influence his decision, yet they are trying to influence all the people and mindsets around Boston. It's ridiculous.

[DarkAzcura]

I really very much dislike Kyrie.

Every time I start to warm up a bit, he completely moves backwards. I still think we sign him, but I just don’t like having this type of personality on the team. The only reason I can deal with it is because of AD potential.

Oh well.

I still wish we had gotten Kawhi somehow instead. Blah

Post of the thread nominee right here.

[Bar Fight]

If Kyrie leaves, do we re-sign Morris? Him and Tatum get along and he's been a solid leader for the team.

[GoCeltics123]

Feels like we need a reload bomb

[ViperGTS]

He actually said this?

Yep. What an ****. Trade him. No wonder they okay better without him. Maybe Irving is a grade A ****.

Obviously.

Read the whole thing. Hes talking about the media and goes on to state that Boston as of now is still his front runner.

Clickbait stories by NY media, and fans fall for it.

You buying that? Dude talks out of both sides of his mouth. Now you have AD not wanting to come to Boston? Yet reports that if AD is here Kyrie stays.

Sorry Mr Wishy Washy. You don’t get to have the whole roster traded.

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

Gotta read the whole interview to get the full context. I'm getting off the ledge now, and I'm putting my Kyrie jersey back on. That dude is staying.

Imo, the ability to potentially acquire Davis has been the main selling point to Kyrie so far. I'm not predicting "doom and gloom" though, but Kyrie is definitely open to different options if presented.

[CelticsPride18]

Funny how people who doubt Kyrie's future here see all these as signs he leaves.

Funny how people think he stays sees it as signs he stays.

Soap opera. The only true sign is how Danny Ainge feels. We are all being conned by Kyrie, and the media. Divide and conquor

We just have to get through the deadline and focus on our season. Rich Paul and his camp are pressuring the Pels to trade AD to the Lakers and it might happen but this is the only way he can go to the Lakers. Every leak will be bad for Boston they just need Brad to keep the locker room calm because he might lose it with all this drama.

Get CHB on him. Paying CHB. Dude will toast him.

[jcappy]

Wonder if the Celtics make the trade with the understanding they are bringing a pissed off AD into the locker room.

If he leaves then I wouldn't be shocked to see Horford opt out. Maybe get in the durant race?

If I were Davis, I would want one home, not a series of homes, and would want to stay either in LA, Boston, or another sexy big time location like NY. It must put a whole lot of unnecessary pressure on these superstars to be constantly in the media over non-performance issues. I think it would be a great burden to me to to have to leave my current team, go play for a year or more in a city not of my choosing, and then finally arrive home, exhausted, worn, and older in basketball performance years and in Davis's case with more injuries added to his already 30 in 6 years.

So, I hope Boston is big time enough for him to stick it out for the long run
