i really hope zarren takes over as president cause if stevens is the shot caller idk this is a pivotal time for the celtics and its not like there are easy answers someones gonna have to make good calls to get them to the next level

not really the spot you want to be learning on the job
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:32 (three years ago) link
the press release has stevens as president. zarren's not going to be above him.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:34 (three years ago) link
this is a yikes guys
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:36 (three years ago) link
thats a pretty big finger to zarren if he's not in charge now
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:37 (three years ago) link
this has the feel of an internal power struggle that ainge and zarren lost and brad won
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:38 (three years ago) link
maybe brad was always right about personnel moves one can hope
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:39 (three years ago) link
i know he's on the permanent candidates list when a GM gets canned but has zarren ever said that he actually wants the top job?
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:39 (three years ago) link
gotta think that with years of people saying hes next after danny theres something there
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:43 (three years ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:46 (three years ago) link
man they better hire the right coach
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:47 (three years ago) link
also a bunch of tricky personnel decisions upcoming, they have to figure out what to do about kemba and upgrade the bench
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:49 (three years ago) link
kidd or mark jackson please
― Spottie, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:54 (three years ago) link
not funny
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:55 (three years ago) link
the boston celtics have died
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:56 (three years ago) link
as far as ex players tho billups always seemed like a smart even keeled good dude who was also all about the winning
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:57 (three years ago) link
wonder if brad would go the ex player route
i hope they get someone who is good at making up offenses
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 15:58 (three years ago) link
billups would be good imo
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:04 (three years ago) link
feel like its a weird spot to put a rookie coach in but also not sure who else is out there
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:05 (three years ago) link
hard to know how good various assistant coaches are as a non insider since they dont do anything public
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:09 (three years ago) link
yeah and even for insiders its prob anyones guess how theyll do in the big chair

Danny Ainge said he can get out and play golf a little bit more now.— Jay King (@ByJayKing) June 2, 2021
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*— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) June 2, 2021

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.— Jay King (@ByJayKing) June 2, 2021

Wyc is a hell of a name
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:22 (three years ago) link
I didn’t know about the heart attack. He lost a lot of weight afterwards.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:36 (three years ago) link
yeah thats good to hear
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:50 (three years ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:51 (three years ago) link
I have two word for Brad Stevens: Brett Brown.
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Wednesday, 2 June 2021 17:15 (three years ago) link
*words, lol
he does have the accent
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 17:17 (three years ago) link
golf, Chipotle, and flirting with a job with the Utah Jazz. Who could ask for anything more
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 17:18 (three years ago) link
make garnett the coach
― Draymond is "Mr Dumpy" (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 2 June 2021 17:56 (three years ago) link
many people on twitter are advocating for exactly that lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 18:03 (three years ago) link
garnett would never do it, but if he did it would be guaranteed to deliver messy drama
― What's It All About, Althea? (Aimless), Wednesday, 2 June 2021 18:07 (three years ago) link
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
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 19:13 (three years ago) link
leaking that kidd is in consideration probably good strategy so that everyone's relieved when it's anyone else no matter how questionable
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 19:23 (three years ago) link
that's pretty obviously coming from kidd's agent
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 19:26 (three years ago) link
yeah on second read the wording is about as nondefinitive as possible
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link
yeah literally minutes after the news of the celtics shakeup broke lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 20:02 (three years ago) link
feel like we can trust brad not to hire jason kidd, its just not his style
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 20:03 (three years ago) link
my new pick: ray allen
― Draymond is "Mr Dumpy" (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 2 June 2021 20:13 (three years ago) link
nooo lol people do not like ray
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 20:21 (three years ago) link
KG and rondo would be the ones stomping on the logo in that case
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 June 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link
lol true
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link
