No coding.  Just curious if they see buyers or sellers

Well, Stevens hasn't publicly stated he's not interested in the IU job since last week. Maybe he's had a change of heart.

@Chris007  and @IUwins0708 Thank you again for tolerating the smoke and having the comfort of posting still.  There are always crazies everywhere but when it comes to IU basketball we can be a great bunch.

They’ll be connected to everyone. Ainge won’t pull the trigger and then he’ll try to blame the other teams because he was trying to fleece them like always. The guys a snake.

Rumor has it they were talking about trading Marcus smart. I believe it involved Aaron Gordon? Don’t hold me to that second part

I don’t Believe any rumors involving the Celtics because Danny Ainge always has a spin to it that makes the other team look bad just because he’s being stingy and doesn’t want do what it takes to improve the roster unless he’s swindling the other team. 

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

The biggest hype moment will be if they trade for a coach at the deadline......imagine these servers lol

[ap2345 9,636]

The Celtics make a trade with the Knicks for Mike Woodson to make him their head coach so Brad Stevens can come to IU 

 

LOL

Speak it into existence

[ap2345 9,636]

I’d love to know who the person is that is originating the Stevens rumors. 

[Hoosierfan222 734]

I don’t think that’s code but hell what do I know 

[coonhounds 9,854]

Just glad to see the stevens talk getting ramped back up. Thanks isp!

Totally makes sense to me. I mean...why would he come to IU to be a savior? He's not even an IU guy. Childhood dream is nothing but a distant memory. 

One thing I’ll say about why Stevens should be considering the job is “lifetime earnings,” and it’s kind of interesting because you rarely hear anyone talk about it.

By turning down IU, he’s not walking away from $7M per year over 7 years or whatever we think the offer might have been. He’s actually walking away from $7M a year for 20 to 25 years. $140M to $170M!!!!!

He’s not going to be the coach of the Celtics for 20 more years. And his next NBA stop isn’t going to pay him $7M a year (I don’t think).

It’s just like Fitzgerald at Northwestern. Dude can stay there forever. Stevens isn’t being offered a lifetime contract by IU (we don’t think) but at the same time he kind of is.

Do I think he’s coming? No. But for what could ultimately be $140M to $170M I think he’d be crazy NOT to.
