I'm not being negative.

Not gonna be a popular take, and I have zero inside information, but I think it’s gonna be Beard. I think the Stevens smoke is real, but I think ultimately he decides to stay in the NBA. I think Beard takes the job in a heartbeat. Hope the fan base can still support him despite their disappointment if I am correct.

Not at that price paid upfront by a single donor. 

$10M to that donor is like $5 to you or I

If the 3pm thing came from a former player who no one is sure quite how well connected they are (I feel like this was mentioned) and many former players have heard 3pm, it seems like the many former players source could be that one former player who no one is sure how connected they are. I'm not going crazy, you're going crazy.

Ainge saying he's staying sounds pretty definite, that was how I took it.

That can only mean one of three things:

1. Ainge doesn't know
2. Brad is staying in Boston
3. Ainge is lying

My money is on 1 and/or 3.

Again, if Ainge wants to kill this talk, send Brad out to unequivocally squash the talk. Plain, simple, unambiguous language - no wiggle room. And that hasn't happened.

I work with  Billionaires in North Carolina.  True but they pride themselves in being in the know, and if they’re mislead all hell breaks loose.

This is an excellent point. 

I'm not a true believer at this point, but squashing this would be very, very simple. 

Yeah do what Nick Saban did.  "I will not be the next coach at Alabama. Period."

I'm not being negative.

Ok so tell us what your hearing then

I had a a buddy tell me 3pm but he wasn’t sure about his connections 

Still feeling good regarding Brad and the negative vibes should stop? Friends texting me worried Dolson is going to plan B. I’m still trying to hold onto hope because of you and 0708.

I don't know specifics...other than we were looking good and now it's changed. I hope I'm wrong. We'll see if the insiders here will stick to their predictions

I think we'll know today as Brad will definitely be asked about it tonight.  He'll either shoot it down directly or dance around the question.

The interview give you a nice idea of what Bostonians are like. 

After Ainge says "I think he's going to be the Celtics coach for a long time (direct quote)", one of the interviewers goes "those hicks always want to go back, the hicks always want to leave" 

At the 22 min mark if anyone wants to hear it.

There is no way direct question(s) won’t be asked after Celtics game tonight.  It will have to be either confirmed or killed IMO.  

He’s not going to say. “Yes I’m talking to IU”. 
 

He could say I’m committed to the Celtics and I don’t plan on leaving until the Celtics make a change. 
 

We need the Celtics to keep losing.

I haven’t heard anything to change my mind other than people trying to hurry the process.

You mean because allegedly an alleged press conference isn't happening? 

[Alford Bailey]

I can envision a scenario where we dont land Stevens (despite best efforts) and we end up better off for it. Expectations are unrealistic.
