Live broadcast, June 2nd news Celtics President Stevens was interviewed by the media today and talked about rumors about Pritchard’s wish to leave the team.
Stephens said: “I feel sorry for him. He is really an excellent player. I told him this many times this year, not only do our team know that you are an excellent player, but the whole league knows that. We have smart, Brogden and white in the back court, and you can only use 7 to 8 players in the playoffs.”
“But we don’t know how things will go. I am a big fan of Pritchard, I believe in him and everyone in the team believes in him. We will see how things will develop. Again, he is an excellent player.” Stevens continued.
According to a joint report by TA Celtics journalist Jared Weiss and Jay King, several sources revealed that defender Pritchard had made it clear that he hoped to be traded away by the team this summer.
