Danny Ainge Appeared To Take A Shot At Kyrie Irving While Talking To Reporters
Last year’s Boston Celtics had been one of the biggest success stories of the 2017-18 NBA season.
A young team that lost both their All Stars, Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving ,who both underwent season-ending surgeries, made the Conference Finals nontheless. Boston’s young core (Tatum, Brown, Rozier) played brilliantly and made the fans almost forget about Irving and Hayward.
This season, with the two stars healthy and playing again, everyone expected the Celtics to be the East’s top dog and a contender. But in reality, the team was struggling all year long. Their underwhelming season came to an early end, after they lost Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semis against the Bucks and therefore the series with 4 games to 1.
The Celtics were awful and it seems like the front office will be having a busy summer. The team’s star player, Kyrie Irving in the mean time, seems to have played his last game for the franchise, and Danny Ainge, the Celtics’ president of basketball operations, won’t be unhappy if he left. Ainge appeared to take a shot at Kyrie while talking to reporters after introducing the team’s new rookies:
“I think it just makes life more enjoyable when everybody is humble, hard-working, and will play any role they have to to help the team succeed. You do have to have a certain amount of talent to win in our league, as we all know, but good people makes coming to work more fun.”
