Remember when the Boston Celtics made a serious push for Kevin Durant during the 2016 offseason? Apparently he wasn’t the only player who would have come to Boston in that scenario. Retired NBA guard Ray Allen, who spent five seasons in Boston from 2007 to 2012, admitted Thursday he spoke with Danny Ainge in 2016 and told the Celtics president of basketball operations he was open to re-joining the C’s if they landed Durant in free agency.
“I had a conversation with (Ainge) and I told him this was my last-ditch effort. I would’ve went back,” Allen said on WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni & Fauria” radio show. “This was when Kevin Durant was a free agent. He was thinking about going to Boston. And I said, ‘Hey, if you guys land Kevin, I would certainly look at lacing them back up one more time and try to make something good happen here in Boston.’ “
David Falk: I have my own sense of what I’ve done, good and bad. I don’t know Rich Kleiman well, we’ve never even met. What he’s doing with Kevin Durant as a manager, that’s what the modern agent will be. It’s not about being a firm guy. Someone on his own who can take a star and be a business manager more than an agent.
Adam Zagoria: Coach K said Kevin Durant spoke to the @DukeMBB team yesterday at the Nets facility and told the players to enjoy their time on the court and the brotherhood. He said Kyrie did not address the team.
