Kyrie Irving expressed regret about the Celtics’ missed opportunity to pair him with Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant in 2018. While Irving dreamed of maintaining Jayson Tatum on the team during that time, discussions regarding potential trades created a rift in the locker room. Following trade talks, emotions ran high, leading to a fractured team dynamic. With recent developments sending Davis to the Mavericks, Irving reflected on how the vision for a star-studded Celtics team never materialized, ultimately hinting at regrets about how the situation unfolded.
"Just letting you know now, we were discussing in 2018... a dream for Kyrie, AD, KD to be on one team and still keep JT and let him grow."
"But back then, those young guys weren't ready to be in trade rumors, man. Our locker room splintered after that... once they started figuring out the trade rumors."
