this what are you doing that stupid trickery crap for is feldgren mass the continued is uh uh on 985

i just want to see what the fuss is about the sports hub i'll probably hate it 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's 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. Let's play basketball. I'm happy with you saying. I'm glad he's saying it's obviously very positive. I'm just not too worried about Kyrie. I think he's going to see what we have and he's going to be leading it and building it. And if you lead something and build something in Boston, that's a legacy.

I mean, that can end up in the rafters, okay? So, reselling some Celtics stuff. We haven't done the Celtics in a while. They've had their opening of training camp in the media day in the last 24 hours. So good time to do it. Also, they announced that they've re-uped with the sports hub for their play-by-playwrights. So once again, this is your exclusive home for the Boston Celtics for the next several years. They didn't put a timestamp on that release. I know it. I think they said multi-year deal. Multi-year deal. I can't tell you how happy I am about this. Like seriously, I'm not thrilled that the Celtics is staying here. Like, you know, Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, you get them all right here.

I love it. can't tell you how happy I am about this. Like seriously, I'm not thrilled that the Celtics are staying here.

Like, you know, Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, you get them all right here. I love that. I think it's a real statement. You know, there was competition for them. And we already have the Bruins, and they're sort of in the first spot there when it comes to conflicts and everything. so it's just natural for the Celtics to go elsewhere or look elsewhere, and they stayed.

And they stayed.

And they stayed.

And they stayed. And they stayed despite your negativity and Jones's negativity. Never mind. They know they have a fan in me. Oh, yeah, Mr. Hoops. You're welcome. Green team are in Bradbot, but the rest of you is so negative. I get a ring in this contract if they win one. Anyway, it's just a real statement that they came back to the sports.

That's all.

That's, that's, a real statement that they came back to the sportsub. That's all. That's what I think about that. A real statement about a lot of different things. So anyway, the Celtics are back on 98-5, the sportsup, Grandia Max, with the play-by-play. And so Wic came in today to sort of announce that, and we talked to him about Kyrie Irving. and we discussed before he came on about how it feels like Kyrie Irving has really had a change of tune the last couple of days

in terms of his commitment to Boston how much he wants to stay in Boston and well we played

the clip with him with the TNT gal Jimmy maybe you can just you know re-rack that where I think

he says Boston's the place for me something along those lines go ahead How many times have you already been asked today about your looming free agency? I haven't. Not at all. No, you're the first person asked. Are you ready for those questions this season? No, whoever is, you know, it's part of the business. So I get it. What will that decision be based on moving forward um it'll be based on

how happy i am honestly um you look happy yeah i'm i'm great i'm great i really i really feel that uh

this is a place for me um you know simply put it the future is very bright in boston and i'm excited

to be a part of it okay so he wasn't saying that over the last year. He's saying it now, and he has in the last 24, 48 hours. Has there been a change of, has something changed internally? And we asked Wick about it, and he said, no, there have been no conversations internally that would have changed that tune. There's been no contract talks, per se, that it would have changed that tune. It's just the tune that he's spinning here in the last couple of days. So what do you make it? So what do you make that? So you use the right word, the tune that he's spinning in the last couple of days. That's exactly how I would characterize it. So look, with all due respect to Kyrie Irving, whom I've never met, okay? But I don't believe it. I don't. And I'll believe it when his signature's on the contract and the deal is done. That's when I'll believe it. Because I just think there's been too much smoke in all these reports that have been out there during the offseason, going back into the season about him wanting to play in New York, wanting to play with Jimmy Butler. He's from Jersey, which we all know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So all of a sudden now he shows up at media day, you know, at the start of another season and now it's, oh, no, no, listen, you know, I want to be here. This is the place for me. Where has that been? Like what? overnight he woke up and I just think it's that he showed up. He's playing the game? Yeah. And he doesn't want to be asked about it all year long because it could be a distraction. And frankly, it would really, the more I think about it, it would really be a disservice to the organization and to the other guys on the team. If he is going to walk, fine, walk. Keep him out shut in the process. Because otherwise,

you might undermine what you have going here, especially if they really think they can win a title. Well, it's been a good sell then the last couple days. And I think that's what it was. He finally got a strong dose of self-awareness and realized, you know, maybe me being a movie star. Yeah, no, I don't know if I'm going to be able to swing that.

I don't know how many people actually cared about that dumb movie I came out with this the summer uncle Drew whatever the hell it was you know what I'm gonna be dedicated to basketball again looks around sees this team they can win multiple championships and decides yeah you know no I do want to be here this is the perfect so you think there is an actual change of heart on... Maybe. I mean, the guy goes with the way the wind blows. He's a weirdo. It could be for now. He feels like this is where he wants to be. So can I tell you this that during the show today, I actually texted someone in the week. Okay? That I would characterize as a decision maker. Okay, this is not, this isn't a media person.

Oh, I understand. Say a load of doc for me. And I said to this particular person,

what do you think the odds are of Kyrie staying with the Celtics? And this person said to me,
