This, what are you doing that stupid trickery crap for? Is Felger and Mass? The continued issue, uh, Unbelievable. The Sports Hub. I think he's fully within his rights, if you want to put it that way, to say nothing except let's play this year and I'm going to be a free agent. He doesn't owe me anything. He doesn't owe, I don't think the fans of Boston, in fact, even anything to commit right now. I think he's saying I'm very happy and let's play basketball. I'm happy with what he's saying. I'm glad he's saying it's obviously very positive. You know, I'm just not too worried about Kyrie. I think he's going to see what we have and he's going to be part of leading it and building it. And if you lead something and build something in Boston, and that's a legacy. I mean, that can end up in the rafters, okay?

Agenda Free Friday, brought you by Planet Fitness, the world judges.

They don't Planet Fitness.com, everything on the table from the week, including some Celtics,

our conversation with Wick Grosbeck on

Wednesday. Wednesday.

If you want to go back and listen to that 95thesportsub.com or the app, it's still up there.

That was his thoughts on Kyrie Irving.

And if you're Celtics minute, Maz, we talk about the Celtics this year.

One of the biggest challenges, and it's going to be a new one for Brad Stevens, is managing minutes and egos and contracts and spotlight and all of that. Like, you know, if Stevens has been able to coach a group of underachievers and young guys and, you know, guys who were willing to put the team first the last couple of years, I think this year is going to be a challenge for all of that.

Because there's, you know, never mind minutes. If they can get anyone on the floor, great, but what about shots? And you talk about, you know, Kyrie Irving wants to be a max guy and run a team. Gordon Hayward, who I'll get to in a second, has, I think, you know, really wants that superstar spotlight. then you've got Tatum and Brown who want their next contract and want to be max guys. And so hard to be a max guy scoring 12 points a night. They're going to want their shots. Never mind the point guard thing. When Kyrie comes off, you got Rosier and Smart. So there's going to be a lot of things to shuffle. A lot of egos to shuffle there for Brad Stevens.

Absolutely.

Look, I think you're already getting a sense.

Tim's going to be the guy squeezed out of the starting.

It feels like to me anyway.

So, you know, I'm eager to see how that one goes.

And that is even less of an issue.

The question is what's the starting five?

So it would be Irving, Horford, Brown, Hayward, and then whom am I... You're saying Tatum. Yeah. You're Morris over Tatum? So, but I thought I read some... Or Baines? Maybe Baines in some... Baines at the five and Hord at the 4? Yeah, in some occasions you'll see that.

Yeah, it'll depend on a night-to-night basis on who they're going up against,

but I don't think Tatum's going to start coming off the bench.

Really, to me, if anyone's going to start maybe coming off the bench, it's Hayward. I would think you'd want limited minutes, at least for that first month, where the guy coming back from a bad injury like that.

I'd be surprised.
