Anthony Davis has been heavily linked with a move to Boston Celtics. However, for them to acquire the services of the player, they’ll initially have to convince his father.
Anthony Davis senior talked to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne on Friday and stated that he doesn’t want his son to join Celtics.
The player put a trade request on January 28 and has since been speculated to join Boston Celtics.
His father further stated that the reason behind his disinclination on the move is the way Celtics treated one of their former players, Isaiah Thomas.
Talking to ESPN, Anthony Davis senior said, “I would never want my son to play for Boston after what they done to Isaiah Thomas.
“No loyalty. Guy gives his heart and soul and they traded him.”
However, he further cleared that it is his personal opinion and not that of his son. “This is just my opinion, not Anthony’s. I’ve just seen things over the years with Boston, and there’s no loyalty.”
However, it has been previously reported that Davis himself doesn’t have very high regard for a move to Boston Celtics either.
Isaiah Thomas was traded to Cleveland from Celtics after three successful seasons with the team. He expressed his disappointment over the trade after playing through injuries and the death of his sister for them.
The trade paved way for the arrival of Kyrie Irving, who has concerns of his own.
He stated yesterday that he doesn’t “owe anybody s***” while talking about re-signing with Celtics. The statement came as a surprise as he had previously committed his future to the team.
“But at the end of the day I spent the last eight years trying to do what everybody else wanted me to do, in terms of making my decisions and trying to validate through the media, through other personnel, managers, anybody in this business and I don’t owe anybody s***,” Irving said.
