I ran into IT in vegas when coming out of the Conor/Mayweather fight and I screamed "IT!! BOSTON LOVES U!". This was like few days after the word came out that he got traded and he genuinely looked like he had sadness in his eyes.
haha, with that said, Danny traded for IT and let him grow and become a star in Boston for him to even dream about brink trucks. Danny traded him to the Cavs, who are favorites to go to the finals so it's not like he got screwed and traded to the bulls. So, if Danny wasn't willing to give IT the max next year and IT left the celtics for another team, wouldn't that just be business as well? Just as IT has the right to look out for himself and try to secure a big contract, Danny has the right to do his job and look out for the team's cap and make business decisions. According to IT, since he gave his all to the team, Danny shouldn't have traded him. But what if IT suffered a more serious injury like tearing his ACL or his achillies, then just because IT gave his all to the team when he was healthy, does that mean Danny should be loyal and keep him on the celtics?
I loved IT on the floor, but honestly, there were a few times during his time in Boston that turned me off. I would hate how he would call out the coach or teammates to the media. This last interview bothers me as well. Of course he can be emotional and all, but to say things like, "I may never speak to Danny again," just makes him look unprofessional. It's really weird timing as well, since on his player's tribune article, he seemed a lot less bitter towards Danny.
