this thread really took a turn like the Gordon Hayward is signing here thread. Elation when Chris Haynes reported it, anger when Hayward didn't instantly confirm the news, then relief when Hayward posted his Players Tribune letter. Hoping for the same ending here.
My theory on what happened here(just guesswork on my part)
Kyrie has been angling for veteran help, and I think he's been agitating to move Jaylen and Rozier for it.
Ainge has been telling Kyrie that he needs those guys to make a run at AD when he comes available, hopefully this summer.
Lebron/Klutch blew up that timetable by putting this request out early, making it possible AD is gone before Boston can act.
Klutch folks also leaking Kyrie might leave, putting pressure on New Orleans to act now since Boston might not be willing to unload for AD this summer if Kyrie is gone.
Kyrie now getting bombarded with questions/rumors due to the guys who may have wrecked his plan to build a super team.
May be wishful thinking on my part, but I think a big part of Kyrie being frustrated recently is the young guys not taking to their new roles this season, and he wants them to either get on the bus or get bounced off of it.
