If you’re Brad Stevens being the president of the Celtics isn’t any fun anymore. You’ve assembled a great team but have to start worrying about contracts soon. Winning a championship at IU is a new challenge. All aboard the Brad train. 

Say what?  

“Brad Stevens over last 380 days: 7 contract extensions $1 billion in money Add Al Horford in 2022, and every player in Boston’s top 8 has received an extension. Add Marcus Smart, Rob Williams, and Josh Richardson, and Brad since taking over as GM: 11 extensions, $1.2 billion”

Someone find the quote of him saying his job was boring

He said trade deadline week was “boring as hell.” But elaborated that was by design with how roster was already built.

Could argue that’s why Bob Myers retired from his role with the Warriors at 47 years old.

One could  definitely make the argument that building a college team/program is much more interesting basketball wise.

Any reason for renewed optimism? Or just trying to manifest it on a slow Friday night?

Continuing in my role as that guy on Stevens, I think if this approximated the argument he was actually chewing on then I’m not sure it would be absolutely necessary to have to pay him a couple million dollars a year more than Bill Self to try to bribe him into doing it. But I think the actual argument is being the President of the Celtics is absolutely still fun. You’ve assembled a great team and you really enjoy team building. Sitting in a folding chair in travel league events all spring and high school bleachers on your nights off during the season sounds no more fun than it was back when you got out of that racket. BUT, they’ve offered you so much jack can you really say no even if you have no interest in actually doing it and how long would you have to stay before you can justify splitting?  That really feels more like the internal monologue going on here.

Let’s try and keep the Woodson talk to a minimum please and thank you.    I know this thread is the fun place and we let a lot go however let’s try and keep it about the candidates for the new coach.    
 

Otz

Drew 

McDermott

Williams  my order as of today however subject to change 

If McDermott is hired, will you promise that every win you will post the mail truck snow 180 gif, like you do the Crean one when WW loses? Please and thank you!

We’re going to get a really good coach no matter what. Huge improvement from Woodson so let’s not panic and enjoy the process. Especially on a Friday night :-)
