Did anyone expect anything else from Smart?

I'm glad Smart didn't throw him under the bus. But I anticipated Smart having Kyrie's back.

Smart's entire exit interview was good. As was Jaylen's.

Smart said the Celtics were easily the most talented team he's ever been a part of.  Added he would like another crack at making this chemistry experiment work, if that's Danny Ainge's plan.

Is it true he has bought a house in NY and would be signing for the Nets?.

I REALLY, REALLY hope we get Smart AND Kyrie back next year.

Smart is a straight shooter.

I'm tired of Kyrie getting thrown under the bus exclusively.

Buses are BIG vehicles and there is PLENTY of room under them for a reason......

There needs to be some NBA Analysts, reporters and "SAUCES" under them, too..........

I need to check them out when I get home, are they all on the Celtics website?

Back to Boston.

He has unfinished business here.

I have to think his comments about never feeling like this when they lost 4-1, really explains how frustrated he is to have lost like that. I just wish he accepted some of the blame, and expressed some humility.

There's videos on the Celtics' Twitter page, but I imagine they'll be up on the site soon.

I genuinely don't know and I don't think he really does either. He may have a way he's leaning, but I think it's still up in the air.

I am certain that he DOES.

I just don't think that Kyrie Irving does "Media" really well...he is apprehensive..cautious...and for GOOD reason.

IMO he is doing better with the media than THIS guy did

Brooklyn - Going back home to the trendier NY team that is trending upwards.

Ironically they are the same team Boston was before he came here. Young, hungry, and confident.. can't wait to watch him destroy their chemistry next.

Brooklyn, Lakers, or Knicks.


I hope he goes to the Lakers and he and Bron get their butts kicked by the Warriors, Rockets etc for the next few years.

I think Knicks. The uncle drew personality fits so well with Knicks than any other team. Kyrie has been drafted and traded his entire career. Come July he will finally be a loser in a place of his chose rather than someone else’s.

Oh god, I was the hugest Rondo supporter, even when he clashed with teammates, argued with Stevens, and generally pretty much burned all bridges; but you're right.

Rondo didn't end well with Boston media lol.

That being said, I hope Irving takes this as motivation to improve himself.
