Could it be true?

Spurs turned this deal down, does this give Irving reason to not resign?  Paul George was a little upset the Lakers didn’t go all in for him.   



Interesting.

Jimmy Stewart from Felger and Mazz also mentioned he heard some viable info about this

are any of these guys credible?

Irving burned a bridge with a team once already and he will be crazy to do it twice . Which is worst for the Celts as at least the Cavs got a warning

Imo Ainge will need to push Irving and camp for an answer regarding extension before the trade deadline.  IF he "shrugs his shoulders" .... either you bite the bullet, keep him for the rest of the season in hopes to win a championship or trade him.  Losing him for nothing will be a terrible outcome

Multiple more credible reporters have said that none of the C's starters were ever offered. This group of reporters includes Zach Lowe who is pretty darn connected with Boston and also was one of the first to report the Raptors trade was gaining steam during Summer league.

This report has been BS when it was made and remains BS over a week later.

But hey why not take the word of random radio guy in Boston trying to pot stir when it fits your agenda.

No chance.  Kyrie would be forcing way out of Boston if true.  Essentially what happened in Cleveland.

Haha I'd hate to get onto your bad list. Do you have a secret investigation room in your house with photos of Kyrie on the wall?

Spurs would have taken that deal so fast it would not have been funny. There is no chance they accepted what they got vs. getting Kyrie.

More stirring of the pot. Fake News is alive and well in 2018.

For some stupid reason I follow Dan Lif****z on Twitter.  I truly think he makes **** up.

His news is literally coming out of his backside!

Jimmy Stewart claims to be plugged in with someone in the organization and swears this to be true...  I don't believe him necessarily, but he sounds pretty convincing about it.

Why in the world would an organization that keeps things pretty close the the vest when it wants to leak explosive news liked this about an upcoming FA to a random talking head radio guy who (like his station) mostly ignores the NBA when football is being played?

Now on the other hand why would a local radio guy make some explosive news up during a down time in the sports calendar?

Meanwhile reputable Celtics reporters have all heard the opposite....

Yeah, I don't believe it...  Just crazy how adamant about it he is.

Well it's not THAT surprising. Kyrie is quite fragile and seems pretty ambivalent about Boston vs NY or wherever. He's played 60 or fewer games 4 of his 7 seasons in the L. Are we ready to bet the farm on him?

Stewart was right once (I forget what the news was), so everyone who listens to that show will have to suffer for that for the rest of his time on that station.  The solution is to not listen to that show.


When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

Cold blooded doesn't equal dumb.

Naah, that's all hot air.  Considering the deal that the Spurs just accepted, I don't believe this.  The Spurs would have taken an offer of Kyrie over an offer of Derozan in a heartbeat, without even having to debate it.  So yeah, that is FAKE NEWS!
