Tim Bontemps: Kyrie Irving stated he, Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant talked about taking part in collectively in Boston again in 2018, with the hope to take action ultimately alongside Jayson Tatum. “It was a dream for Kyrie, AD, KD to be on one workforce and nonetheless hold JT and let him develop after which see the way it goes.” AD stated you guys talked about taking part in collectively again in 2018? Then, I used to be caught in a hallway speaking to KD, and all people was like, ‘Hey, these two are working collectively.’ Then the rumors began with AD across the similar time. All of us had that imaginative and prescient to play collectively in Boston. Danny Ainge had a big accountability in that, making an attempt to make it occur, be sure that I stayed in Boston. However we had some younger items in JT and JB and if we might have traded both of them who is aware of in the event that they win a championship. So the franchise needed to do what was greatest for them, and I needed to do what was greatest for me. So then it didn’t essentially make quite a lot of sense, as a result of the items and property we had, however now, in our older age, as they are saying, in our league, we get an opportunity to do one thing we envisioned awhile in the past, after we have been younger children, so it’s thrilling now. So the imaginative and prescient was you, KD and AD in Boston, at one time? Yeah. That has no foreshadowing both, on something, guys. Simply letting you already know proper now. (laughs) We have been discussing in 2018, only for all people at dwelling that’s watching, as a result of I do know all of those phrases are going to be checked out. However yeah, in 2018, it was a dream for Kyrie, AD, KD to be on one workforce and nonetheless hold JT and let him develop after which see the way it goes. However again then, these younger guys weren’t able to be in commerce rumors, man. Our locker room splintered after that, as soon as they discovered. It wasn’t JB or JT, however our locker room splintered as soon as they began determining the commerce rumors, and our season began getting in an entire totally different means. -via x.com / February 4, 2025
