Have to say, while I don't put much stock in the Mannix report given that it was made in a different context while he was in Cleveland, this certainly worries me.

Stars that want to stay and be the face of the franchise are not usually this noncommital about their current team being a long-term destination. I don't expect him to categorically say he is resigning in Boston, but Kyrie saying that he has to "take it as being present with the Boston Celtics" and not having a "better, clear" answer right now is really concerning to me.

As good as Lebron is and with all of this uncertainty around Kyrie resigning, I think that if you have the chance to nab Lebron in some type of three-way trade with Kyrie, you have to do it.

Nothing to see here. He just said what he needs to say. Even if he's committed, we're not sure about Ainge and the front office thinks either. It's silly to think about this too early when he still have one more year to exercise his player option.

[CelticsElite]

Lets hope we get long win streaks next season and halfway through the season he verbally commits by saying something like "id like to be here for a long time."

Is anyone really surprised?

and how much value can you really get for a non committal player anyways

Trade Irving for Leonard a fan screams on twitter?  Spurs hang up the phone

Trading Irving to the obvious destination is an option ...... but better to keep him at the end of the day

Obvious destination = Knicks for 2018 9th pick,  Frank Ntilikina and future 1st

Definitely, with those assets going to Cleveland alongside Kanter and Lebron coming here.

Why would the Celts need to give up those good to the Cavs when Lebron is a FA?

[celticinorlando]

He would be a fool to leave Boston with all the young talent and high picks they have

[BringToughnessBack]

If Kyrie wants to be a Knicks player, nothing we can do- Those comments worry me for sure—-If we keep him and he walks for zip, lets hope Rozier is still here...Danny needs to get clarity in next few weeks- if he doubts his desire to be here—-adios

[gouki88]

Yup. Nothing to see at all

For sure now , Rozier is going nowhere

are you in denial? 

Why isn't Irving saying.... YES I want to be a Celtic for the long term or retire as a Celtic

otherwise how are you so confident?

[BringToughnessBack]

So, if Lebron tells Danny I want to be in Boston and Kyrie says maybe...we know what killer Danny is gonna do 😁...fun times..lol...

[celticinorlando]

Danny will turn over all rocks this offseason

He is ruthless and has no loyalty except to the Celtics

Cannot be confident about Kyrie- his personality is very peculiar and he loves NY...It would definitely not surprise me or should it surprise anyone here if he bolts or asks for relocation. Boston is a great situation for him but if his heart is not in Boston, he will follow it right of it without a thought. And Danny wont wait and hope things work out——

Absolutely true—-
