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.

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

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

I wondered if Red would have a cigar in his mouth. I guess that was just de rigueur if a photojournalist was behind the camera.

they had too many guys

Memphis has agreed to trade forward Juancho Hernangomez to Boston for guards Kris Dunn, Carsen Edwards and a 2026 second-round pick swap, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 3, 2021

remember when it was rumored the celtics were gonna pick kriss dunn instead of jaylen brown lol

i

hmm

when the other team demands a 2026 second round pick swap in your trade of end of bench guys

https://i.imgur.com/evI5sOV.png

brad did a good job this offseason imo very competent did what had to be done with kemba locked up some good guys on reasonable deals filled out roster depth and retained future flexibility

always have to maintain future flexibility

inflexible teams aren't nimble

dont make fun you guys this is serious

i always liked juancho this will probably end in disappointment for me

fair, clown shit but fair
