Don't underestimate the fact that the Celtics can offer him more money than anyone else.
Yeah, I think people are premature in writing this off. It’s probably more likely than not that he’s gone in July, but it does not follow that this would necessarily be a meeting where he informs them of this.
You can even make the argument that after the injuries to KD and Klay and seeing AD go to LAL (instead of NY or Brooklyn) that Kyrie may think his best long-term play is to re-up with Boston for the five-year max, as if it still doesn’t work out this year he can always demand a trade like he did in Cleveland.
I’ve said all along that Brooklyn doesn’t make much sense with no other major star acquisition.
