Horry was sent to the Lakers after a conflict with Ainge. Ainge congratulated him in advance for getting the ring when notifying him

Basketball

Former Lakers player Robert Horry recalled the scene when he was traded to the Lakers on former Lakers player and coach Byron Scott's show "Fast Break".

He said: "Danny Ainge (who was the head coach of the Suns at the time) called me and said, 'Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I might have helped you win another championship.'"

I asked: "Why?" He said: "Because I just traded you to the Lakers."

In 1997, Robert Horry was already dissatisfied with losing his starting position in the Suns. In a game, Horry threw the towel directly on Ainge because of a disagreement.

Horry recalled that game: "I was performing well, but Angie suddenly told me to get on the bench. I asked him why, and he told me to shut up and sit down. I said to him, 'Who the hell are you talking to like that?' He said, 'It's just you.'" Then I was very angry and threw the towel directly on Angie. Horry was subsequently suspended internally and was eventually sent to the Lakers. A few years later, Horry completed three consecutive championships with the Lakers.
