Oh boy.. Celtics twitter is going in on Brad right now.
 
Look up the latest tweets involving "Brad Stevens".
Good i wish nothing but the worst to him. I am joking I only hope we make a great hire and our coach becomes a legend while brad never wins a championship at any major level of basketball

I wasn’t going to tell everyone but screw it, if it’s wrong it’s wrong.  The search is over!! Brad will be the next coach.  Same guy that told me the Sampson buyout sent me a text and said Brad is HOM

We started discussing those hurdles with his beautiful agent back in late January, early February. So everything was written up exactly how they wanted. So there’s not really much to be done. This has

I will say that IU met with the Stevens family since January, maybe even end of December. It was a good fit we thought, we listened to everything they had to say, we met everything they wanted, they a

They are both getting highly specialized science degrees with 100% job placement.  Although I would have loved IU, there is always grad school.  And the school truly needs a new president who values the state and the school. 

Amen to that.  IU needs a new president.

You're right, but that would destroy recruiting, wouldn't it? 

Depends on who the interim coach is I suppose. No doubt it would have an impact, but as many have said here, I'd rather have players that want to come to IU, than ones we have to coddle their egos, and pamper them. With proper coaching I think Leal, Geronimo, Galloway, and Lander will be REALLY good.

I am just shocked that they would up his contract when it is clear that the fans ******* hate him.

Leal and Galloway have said they’re staying, but there’s no guarantee the others will be here. Which is disappointing, because both have tremendous upside.

Yeah, disagreed. Treading water for a year until you have an A+ hire lined up could have ended up being a better option. The floor is very low now for the next couple years depending on who the hire is and what sort of turnover we see on the roster.

Edit: Not saying this is what is going to happen. Just saying the immediate downside is much greater if you're now working down a list of guys that aren't your first choice.

Might never have  the A+ hire so you could be waiting for years.  Until two days ago our fans never even thought Stevens was a possibility  S every candidate we thought about is still there to talk to.

I already said in an earlier post that, if all is true, he has shown his true colors.  Duke is absolutely no different than IU but for a few Cherokee Parks calls and TV Teddy moments that allow themselves to pretend.  Our championships were homegrown.  Theirs were home cooked. He wants that?!  Good for him...best of luck.

This is all a trick, he gets fired, and gets the IU job since the Administration is holding out for him! That’s the plan....is it a stretch??? Bring Brad home!

I really hoped we got and I 100% believe your sources, but I think everything was in placed and Celtics made their rumored raise for him today....I think that’s why everyone is shocked, since it happened so quickly and blindsided everyone.

As an NBA guy.. The Celtics roster was beyond terrible at the start of the season.

It looks like the boys are lost right now. You know what happens next right? A player asks for a trade in the off-season. Tatum or Brown is going to leave and the Celtics are going to be screwed. 

It's a players league. 

So true.

Maybe Stevens is on solid ground but Ainge really screwed up that roster.

He will have fun at Duke or North Carolina in a couple of years in my opinion 

Duke will stay within the family and UNC has as well

Always will be a players league. I’m shocked Stevens isn’t seeing this. He is the longest tenured coach in Boston Celtics history without winning a championship and he is not going to have a top 3 team in the east for at minimum another 4 years. Tatum and Brown are not superstars. Superstars dominate winning in the league. So frustrating bc coming to IU is such a no brainer for both sides. Obviously his family doesn’t feel the same.

What do you think happened?

I honestly don’t know. I just haven’t seen any thing about a raise from anyone except IU people. I still have many questions about what is going on with this whole situation.

Daily reminder, Kings up 9 with a minute left in the 4th

This is so petty of me,  but after the salt that was thrown in that press conference I am hoping he crashes and burns in Boston and then finds himself coaching for some NBA backwater in a few years thinking, "Maybe I should have taken that Indiana job."

Super petty, but that is where I am.
