Nick Wright Stirs the Pot, But Celtics Stay Smart…
Hold onto your Dunkin’ and pass the clam chowder! Fox Sports’ Nick Wright recently dropped a spicy rumor about the Celtics wanting to trade for Kevin Durant. Sounds crazy, right? Even Wright admitted he got this from his buddy’s cousin’s hairdresser or something—so let’s just say it’s not exactly from the horse’s mouth. With new ownership in Beantown, it’s got fans on edge, imagining what could be a blockbuster move… or an epic blunder.
Flashback to Phoenix: the Suns tried this with Durant, and now they’re in more trouble than a lobstah in a boiling pot. They’re missing key players and praying someone will take Durant like a hot potato. Meanwhile, the Celtics just won the championship and aren’t looking to mess up their winning streak by doing somersaults through financial hoops for Mr. Durant’s hefty price tag.
They’ve got their sights on Banner 19, but shaking up their lineup for a 36-year-old with a paycheck fatter than a Christmas goose? Not likely. Celtics management knows better than to be bamboozled by Durant’s stardust. So, Boston pals, rest easy. Trust in Brad Stevens’ wizardry and the promise that Celtics will skate clear of any Durant drama. Nick Wright’s flub isn’t worth the beans in your baked beans—keep the panic for when a blizzard rolls in!
