In his weekly interview with the Toucher and Rich radio show, Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge provided further insight into the situation surrounding Kyrie Irving’s expiring contract. Per Mass Live:
“I think a lot of people because of Kyrie’s announcement at the beginning of the year thought that there was a marriage,” Ainge told the hosts. “I think it’s more like an engagement, and we’re gonna get married on July 1st, and I think that engagement is still on as far as I know in my individual conversations with Kyrie. We’re still engaged, but we really can’t make those vows, sign that contract, until July 1st.
