Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[ib4iu 349]

I’m all aboard the BFS train but next week seems more likely. I can’t imagine a team who makes trades at the deadline not even waiting for those players to arrive and the coach and team splitting. I think he gets a few games with Fournier and the next skid they’ll part ways. May even be after next weekend.

Pushing back the dates for big events is right out of the QAnon playbook. And you know what, I love crazy so I'm totally cool with that. I'll be here refreshing this thread all week until I hear it's someone other than Stevens. At noon today that mysterious Peegs poster will shift the date and time of the big announcement and I'll happily be sucked right back in.  

Well no one has ever said a site on here. The peegs guy said today and the OSU guy last week said next weekend. That said if it’s Stevens I don’t care if it’s another month at this point just get it done and announced.

If it's Stevens, I don't care if it's June.

Totally agree. I don't actually believe it's Stevens. But if it's him I would wait until the summer and be totally happy. If this thread is going in May with no IU coach announcement then you know it's Stevens.

What the significance of “Hov” in part of your poster name?

I put Oladipo on a really high pedestal.

If it’s Stevens I don’t think it’d stretch into late May or June. Of course the C’s can play that long but I just doubt you’d have nothing until then.

Wojo is dropping a bomb tomorrow at noon that Brad will take the IU job. Or he might wait till next weekend. Not much after that:-)

Whenever the drop happens, it better come from Rab with all the damage control he has had to do !

Let’s say it is Steven’s, now, but we cannot announce it till June. The negative press and general theme of they are idiots will be fascinating if indeed Scott stays quiet. But what if it is 50/50 from now until June. Do you still wait that long and risk losing not only your guy but possibly most others who were willing to come but find something else. Plus everyone slamming you for putting all your eggs in one basket.

 

I am fine as my backup plan at that point - Woody/Fife/Lewis is still viable. But if I hear Muss or Oats has interest yet we decide to wait on a 50/50 bet I would probably go with one of those guys and avoid the risk.

I would agree with this. A bird in hand and all that. I don't think you could wait until May/June unless you have some kind of guarantee.

Maybe I missed it, but have you heard anything of note lately?

Can you dumb this down a couple more notches?  Hov like hover?  Hovering Oladipo?

I'm not saying Brad's coming to IU, but if he was thinking about it, he wouldn't answer the media's questions about it by saying, "we're in negotiations, and I'm considering it.  I might actually coach here in Boston another 3 weeks and then leave."  You understand that, right?
