Danny Ainge was on Toucher and Rich this morning and discussed when he had an idea that Kyrie Irving wouldn't be coming back and that the Celtics needed to shift gears. I feel bad for Danny as he and Brad have had to sort of become Kyrie apologists as everyone (probably rightly so) bashes Irving for the garbage job he did leading the team this past season. It's a bad look when a GM bashes a player who has left, so Ainge has been very careful with his words. Antoine Walker famously called Ainge a snake when he was traded the first time, but Danny didn't retaliate.
Danny Ainge says Kyrie Irving informed him he was likely heading "home" to Brooklyn in March
