The Boston Globe’s Bob Ryan didn’t hold back in a fiery rant about Nets star Kevin Durant, who he called a “s–t head” on Tuesday.

“Screw him,” Ryan said in the latest episode of his podcast, adding that he’s happy the Celtics didn’t trade for Durant.

Before Durant’s sudden recommitment to the Nets last week, the Celtics reportedly engaged in trade talks about the two-time NBA champion.

“I don’t need him. I’m happy. I don’t want to win with him,” said the 76-year-old Ryan, who still writes semiregularly for The Globe. “I want to root for this group right here that we have seen assembled and grow. Now that we’ve added [Malcolm] Brogdon.. I love this team. I don’t want to win with that s–t head and I think he is one, frankly… I don’t want to win with this guy. Screw him. No.”

Last month, The Athletic reported that the reigning Eastern Conference champion Celtics took part in trade talks with the Nets about a possible deal for Durant that included a package centered around All-Star forward Jaylen Brown. A deal was never close to getting done.

At the time, the brother of Celtics star Al Horford took to Twitter to call “bulls—t” on the report alleging that Boston made a play for Durant. The Raptors, Heat, Lakers and Timberwolves were all in the mix of pursuing Durant.

The Nets put an end to the Durant sweepstakes last Tuesday, saying in a statement that both sides are “moving forward” together to chase the franchise’s first-ever NBA championship.

That came after things seemed rocky between the two parties when Durant proposed an ultimatum for the Nets to move him, or fire Marks and coach Steve Nash in order for him to stay. 

Durant, who will turn 34 in September, signed a four-year, $198 million extension with the Nets last August.
