Hoosier Guy Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Just now, Hoosier1984 said: Not to mention with the Nets loading up they aren’t getting there in the next 4 years at least. Exactly. Celtics had to deal with LeBron and couldn’t do it. They wouldn’t beat the Nets either. It’s as perfect a time as we could hope. This is the one chance to get our Golden Boy

Change might be needed. Brad might be willing to leave. And yes, Danny could be in trouble. He’s probably one of the more overrated GM’s in the NBA.cos The Celtics have been to the Finals twice in the past 34 years lol. They’re one of the most storied organizations because of what they accomplished 50 years ago. Their banners are as dusty as ours. Jeff_Boy_Ardee 1

The Celtics got their rings when players were smoking pipes in the locker room post game and pre games. Nonetheless, they have the standard of championships like IU does. Hoosierfan2017 1
lillurk Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Had reallllly hoped we’d get a wink wink today even if nothing official happened/broke until tomorrow or Sunday. Think we’re getting past Friday news dump time.

I don't have a dog in this fight but to be fair they have 17 championship (tied with the Lakers) and 31 division banners hanging and it started 64 years ago. That franchise has celebrated opening season banner hanging ceremonies in every decade (minus the current) since 1957. And to add a little 'extra' to their accomplishments, with the Lakers it accounts for 34 championships for almost half of the 74 championships in NBA history. Trish 1

They definitely have a great history, but they’ve only won one of those championships since 1986. If they fire Brad because he hasn’t made the finals I’m not sure it’d be the wisest decision. You’re probably not hiring an improvement and your roster’s problems will still be there. He’s done very well with what he’s had. lillurk 1

rcbowla Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I keep hearing that Ainge "loves Brad" but I also get the impression that Ainge's job may be in as much or more jeopardy than Stevens' isOwner loves bothSent from my SM-T500 using Tapatalk

ap2345 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 From a coach that knows Brad he has said that there is only 1 job in college that Brad would ever leave the NBA for... I think everyone knows what job that is. thebigweave and MemphisHoosier 2

It wasn't just a simple "he's our coach". Couple this with that BGleas has told us and I think we have the picture. If Brad comes to IU it's solely because HE wants to and it's not going to be for $.Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk thebigweave, MemphisHoosier and 8bucks 3

Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Yes I did read it. People say a lot of things that don’t end up being true. I do agree that Brad would leave on his own though. It’s as good a time as ever right now. If IU and Stevens ever becomes reality, this is the time
