Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 2279860, member: 1958"] Pretty much my exact thoughts. Kyrie going back to Cavs annoyed isn't that big of a deal because it sounds like there's been distunction there for awhile. Kyrie isn't stupid either. He knows his endorsement money and sponsors wont like him having a subpar year or grabbing headlines for not showing up to camp. Celtics culture was one of comraderie and toughness and IT was the face of that. He was all over the place here in Boston and a fan favorite. Now you ship him off and have local media pound their chest on how you fleeced Cleveland by shipping him their way, fans celebrating him leaving and KI coming and how Ainge had no intention of paying him what he wanted anyways. How can you bring him back and expect it to be fine? His trade value after a failed physical would be crushed too. This is much worse for Boston if the trade falls through. [/QUOTE]
