  1. If Few is legit interested, I think you have to take him for 8-10 years over May. If we have a real shot at Brad, with Mark Few as a fallback, we're golden.
  2. I don't think Brad would be on that list, as he's President of Basketball Ops, not GM. Darryl Morey isn't listed either, even though Elton Brand, the GM who reports to him, is.
  3. Thanks. Didn't mean to call you out, just confused where the numbers was coming from.
  4. Why do we think Stevens only makes $1.5 million? NBA GMs routinely make $4 million plus, and as high as $10 millions according to this: https://frontofficesports.com/highest-paid-nba-general-managers/ This suggests that elite NBA front office personnel regularly get $10 million: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4123595/2023/01/25/warriors-bob-myers-contract-extension/
  5. Don't get the concern about Stevens because he's been out of the college game for 10 years. If anything, recruiting is less relationship driven now. The GM skills he has developed would be incredibly valuable, and I'm guessing that he's developed relationships with more agents than any college coach going right now. Assuming he stays 10 years, I think you are looking at 2 banners, minimum.
  6. What are your current odds on Brad being the guy?
  7. How does your confidence level this time around for Brad compare to last time?
  8. Wasn't reporting the Goodman quote on Stevens as a fact, just FYI. Goodman went on to say we should hire Pitino.
  9. Goodman says he just talked to Brad last month, and doesn't think we have a chance.
  10. I assume it's Woody's people leaking to try to get ahead of the story and set the narrative?
  11. Anyone want to set up a GoFundMe to get Jerry one of these?
  12. Fixed it, because otherwise the best candidate wouldn't qualify.
  13. Now I would REALLY like to know what @JerryYeagley23 meant when he said "It's all happening..."
  14. Brad Stevens can speak in the fourth person for all I care...
  15. I won't believe it until Kathy confirms...
  16. I'd think this would also be consistent with Dusty too. I can't imagine we'd have to vet him much beyond what would have been done in conjunction with our purported interest last year...
  17. Here's a hypothetical for you... Say it eventually turns out that Stevens is the guy. Presumably a deal would be in place sometime in, say, the next month or so. When do you announce it? Immediately, to give notice to portal recruits, etc.? Or after IU's season is officially over, to avoid distractions for the current team?
  18. One thought I had was that if Stevens is, indeed, the guy, then you sit on the retirement announcement until after the Celtics' post-trade deadline press conference...
  19. He did like a post suggesting that Dolson wouldn't make an announcement without having a replacement lined up. That could suggest that Dolson has his man. Or it could suggest that no official announcement regarding a retirement is forthcoming. Or it could mean nothing at all!
  20. Woodson retired, Brad Stevens, the whole shebang?
  21. In the hopes of shifting gears:
  22. Yes. I'd sit it out for a year or two until he likely implodes here, sullies the reputation of the program, and is fired for cause.
