2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

but if he got fucked over in this deal well prob see if he wants to be the gm of a different team pretty fast

man they better hire the right coach

also a bunch of tricky personnel decisions upcoming, they have to figure out what to do about kemba and upgrade the bench

kidd or mark jackson please

not funny

the boston celtics have died

as far as ex players tho billups always seemed like a smart even keeled good dude who was also all about the winning

wonder if brad would go the ex player route

i hope they get someone who is good at making up offenses

billups would be good imo

feel like its a weird spot to put a rookie coach in but also not sure who else is out there

hard to know how good various assistant coaches are as a non insider since they dont do anything public

yeah and even for insiders its prob anyones guess how theyll do in the big chair

Ainge says he is looking forward to not being stressed and getting out to golf more.

Danny Ainge said he can get out and play golf a little bit more now.

Ainge talking about when Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca hired him in 2003.

Ainge: “I was pretty happy, I was playing golf every day —”

Wyc: “You still do.”

Ainge: “Not enough.” *Laughs*

everyone so crispy right now

Danny Ainge said this was his decision. Said he started thinking about it when he had his heart attack two years ago.

“Then these last two years have been tough” with the bubble and all of the protocols. Said the job hasn’t been as much fun because of that.

Wyc is a hell of a name

I didn’t know about the heart attack. He lost a lot of weight afterwards.

Brad Stevens is asked about potentially coaching and being in the front office.

Wyc Grousbeck interjects: "At the Celtics, that's two separate jobs."

yeah thats good to hear

i mean the celtics have been a well run franchise with wyc so that gives me hope the current moves will work out but still it seems pretty dicey

I have two word for Brad Stevens: Brett Brown.

*words, lol

he does have the accent

golf, Chipotle, and flirting with a job with the Utah Jazz. Who could ask for anything more

make garnett the coach

many people on twitter are advocating for exactly that lol

garnett would never do it, but if he did it would be guaranteed to deliver messy drama

Garnett needs a lot more grey in his beard but i woulda thought the same thing about Nash.

bad stevens already hard at work?

Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd and former Atlanta Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce are expected to be head-coaching candidates for the Boston Celtics, league sources tell @YahooSports.

— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) June 2, 2021

leaking that kidd is in consideration probably good strategy so that everyone's relieved when it's anyone else no matter how questionable

that's pretty obviously coming from kidd's agent

yeah on second read the wording is about as nondefinitive as possible

yeah literally minutes after the news of the celtics shakeup broke lol

feel like we can trust brad not to hire jason kidd, its just not his style

my new pick: ray allen

nooo lol people do not like ray

KG and rondo would be the ones stomping on the logo in that case

lol true

can you imagine being coached by kg

utterly psychotic lol

ray allen as coach, KG as assistant coach
then halfway through the season switch
then switch back for the last five games
take turns in the playoffs
must see tv

two words: coach perk

KG would make rookies (and vets) cry.

kg would try to check into the game in the first quarter of the first game he coached

my understanding is paul pierce has a lot of room in his schedule these days

does he know how to coach though

pierce is all set hes got that crypto

very smart, i gotta get in on that stuff
