CELTICS 2010

they should avert their eyes when in the presence of jayson tatum

As enjoyable a game as you could ask for last night but finding it hard to believe Boston can win more than one more against the Nets.

given their current state its pretty wild that they got one that wasnt just a 3-0 gift, if they win two well that reflects poorly on the nets

dwight howard is better than michael jordan was. people who truly understand basketball know this

kemba thompson and picks for lonzo (s&t) and adams

i would like that, i still think lonzo is good

i think lonzo has found his level and its quality starter, also smart-lonzo-jaylen-jayson-rob would be an insane defensive starting five

idk why nola would do the trade except that it kinda feels in line with their other recent decisions

its a simple case of knuckleheadishness

Marcus Smart said the fan who threw a water bottle at Kyrie Irving was located very quickly and taken care of. Smart said one bad seed doesn’t mean the whole fruit is poisoned. “We just had a knucklehead do something knuckleheadish.”

lol what a squad

hey now can’t abide by any Dino Radja slander.

It’s nuts that Dee Brown and Barros both started... other 2 PGs on that team were David Wesley and Sherman Douglas, so Brown listed at 6’1” was the tallest of the 4!

lol that was one of the things pitino complained about when he got there, immediately traded wesley, who went on to be a solid player for years to come

thats the nba jam squad right there

Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge is seriously considering his future with the franchise and could make a decision to step down, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 2, 2021

i'll believe it when i see it

He will come very close to stepping down, but ultimately decide that the price was too high

otm

oh

Brad Stevens is moving into the front office on a full-time role, and Celtics are expected to start a search for a new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Celtics staff and coaches have been informed of the changes. https://t.co/yPf6ERS6NK

wtf

whaaat

everyone in the world is so burned out right now lol

otm

lmao

the poetry of danny ainge

Ainge: "When I had a heart attack two years ago, I started to think about what I was doing with my life and what I want to accomplish. I don’t know what my future holds. I don't have any plans...I’ll think about the future somewhere in the future."

um

As Danny Ainge moves on from Boston, a possible landing spot, in some capacity: The Utah Jazz. As rumors of Ainge's exit rippled through the NBA in recent months, a role with the Jazz has been seen as a potential next step.

playing the long game

from the athletic

What happens to Mike Zarren and Austin Ainge?

Changes could still come. Stevens said he has not yet thought much about the structure of the front office but intends to “dive into that” soon. Still, Danny Ainge suggested Stevens will likely keep much of the front office, if not all of the front office, intact.

“He has a great staff with Mike and Austin and Dave (Lewin) and Remy (Cofield) and Jake (Eastman) and Allison (Feaster),” Ainge said. “And just a great staff already in place, and that with Brad’s leadership and his organization and his work ethic and intelligence, I think it’s going to be great.”

While stating he plans to lean on the guys with front office experience, Stevens mentioned both Zarren and Austin Ainge as if he hopes to keep them both in the organization.

“I know there’s a lot of work to do, and I will say, and I think it’s really important to say, Danny mentioned it earlier, we’re set up not only from a player standpoint, but we’ve got great coaches that are in the building – you know, Mike Zarren, Austin and that whole entire group, they’re going to make this transition very easy because they’re high, high level at what they do,” Stevens said. “They know the ins and outs of everything that needs to be known, and I’m looking forward to working with them, leaning on their expertise as I transition, leaning on Danny’s expertise as he transitions and going from there.”

CELTICS WIN THE NETS TRADE

— Ryan Bernardoni AC⚡️AB (@dangercart) June 20, 2021

Another thing to keep in mind is that as soon as the draft is past the C's can trade their 2022 pick so they haven't encumbered future pick trading ability at all. It does mean that any trades that cost two picks become troublesome b/c you do then tie up picks far down the line.

— Ryan Bernardoni AC⚡️AB (@dangercart) June 18, 2021

Yep. The timing of the trade was "weird" in relation to most trades happening closer to the draft but moving Kemba needed to happen pre-draft for both trade kicker and future pick flexibility reasons: https://t.co/mWARqRNZxc

— Ryan Bernardoni AC⚡️AB (@dangercart) June 21, 2021

this trade is heartening from a technical pov a lot of rookie gms screw up small cap details like this, obvs brads got a very knowledgable team in place but he does have to listen to them

“I just really liked Kemba,” Stevens said. “Period, end of story. He is a super-likable person.”

i like what im hearing about him

Brooklyn Nets assistant coach Ime Udoka is believed to be a frontrunner in the Boston Celtics' Head Coaching search at the current moment.

— 👑 Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson 📍 (@ScoopB) June 22, 2021

i'm fine with literally anyone who's not an established bad coach

i would like someone who is good at making offenses

ime is a great coach, he will do well there. he also has one of the best basketball fight stories of all time.

ime ime is a great coach

uma, oprah

listening to chris mannix on the bill simmons pod saying he’s pretty sure presti would have taken the celtics GM job if they ever called and made an offer 😬

i read that they did talk to him

it does seem like wyc just wanted brad tho

masai also seems available... idk
