Source close to Kemba Walker told me that primary reason for the All-Star point guard choosing Boston was chance to go deep in playoffs — and play with talented guys like Tatum, Hayward and Jaylen Brown. Doesn’t feel as if he has to do it all by himself - which was case in CLT.
love it. We didn't have to beg for him to come. We didn't have to trade for a superstar. Lets do this..


The Kemba era now begins

HE WANTS TO BE IN BOSTON!!!! You cannot overemphasize this point. WTG Danny!!!! Seems like Cs actually told Kyrie he is not wanted back.

Is that like when someone starts to breakup with you and you claim you were gonna break up with them first?




I'm getting cautiously optimistic about next season.

I am getting there too....

Cautiously optimistic. We just need to see how the big rotation shakes out, especially if we're theoretically using Gordon Hayward as a 4.

I stand by my post, it does not appear Danny was bringing Kyrie back. He is a malcontent.

Would not surprise me at all. We hear how Kyrie was not interested in coming back but I believe Boston from top down had no intention of bringing him back. He was just a destroyer and combined with the other malcontent Rozier killed this team.

I can promise you, if Kyrie wanted to come back Ainge would have welcomed him with open arms.  Don't fool yourself.

This jilted lover, revisionist history stuff has got to stop.  It's such a bad look.

Literally the entire NBA: Kyrie doesn't want to go back to Boston. Even though Boston still really wants to pair him with Anthony Davis, he's made it known behind the scenes that he's fully intent on going to Brooklyn.

Ogaju: Danny wasn't going to bring him back. He was a malcontent.

What's next? Danny told Al they weren't going to resign him because they wanted to clear space for Kemba?

Should we be nervous that Silver will void this signing?  It's posted on ESPN as a done deal. That has to annoy him and the other teams. No other FA signings are that final so far.

you have never written a critical post about Kyrie but you do not lose a chance to slam Hayward even calling him emotionally fragile?

I have stated my opinion, Kyrie said he would be back if Boston would have him. He is not back what do you think that means Well unless of course Kyrie is a liar. Take your choice.

It would not surprise me if Silver penalizes Boston for Lakers tampering.

He gone.. get over it. Would not be surprised to see him end up with Nets with no other star player to pair with him...

With all the complaining on here about tampering, it would be fitting if Charlotte made a tampering complaint against us.

If the player says he plans on signing with Celtics, is that grounds for voiding? Are they not allowed to set up meeting for free agency and if one player says he plans on signing with Celtics, is that tampering? No official statement has come out from our team and this is all social media and news coverage with no actual quote from our organization. Without that, I would think this cannot be voided unless they show we negotiated before tomorrow. I wont  sleep well until we get him though.

They should. Perhaps the league will then scrap the stupid rule that says team's cannot tamper but players and agents can. What an absurd rule. Any team that is not tampering is not doing its due diligence.
