A day after Isaiah Thomas reiterated on the Road Trippin podcast that he won’t be saying hello to Danny Ainge if they cross paths at the NBA season opener Tuesday, Ainge responded in an interview with Dale & Holley with Keefe Tuesday, as relayed by Ty Anderson of WEEI.

“I don’t know what we owe him,” Ainge said. “We gave him an opportunity. We gave him everything we had while he was here and he gave us everything that he had.”

Thomas first said he may not talk to Ainge again in a riveting Lee Jenkins profile for Sports Illustrated. In his appearance on the Road Trippin pod, Thomas reiterated he respectfully wants to stay away from Ainge.

IT asked on Road Trippin pod what he’ll do if Ainge says hi tonight: “I’ma keep it pushing like he kept it pushing when he traded me.” — Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) October 17, 2017

IT: “I’m not going to disrespect him. He’s a man and I am too. I’m just gonna go my own way. I play for the Cavaliers and it is what it is.” https://t.co/lOxZLSuGpx — Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) October 17, 2017

Ainge was asked what he though of those comments and responded with mostly praise for Thomas.

“I can’t be sure. I just know that Isaiah gave us all he had and he was a Celtic. He was all in with us and we were all in with him and he had an amazing platform and he went from a guy that bounced around a little bit from Sacramento to Phoenix and then came to Boston and found a home and played unbelievable basketball last year. Going forward, all point guards that play great in Celtics uniform will be compared to Isaiah Thomas and how they compare to him.”
