Virtually zero chance Ben Simmons is a Laker. If he's traded, there will be a bidding war for him.
Udoka is a good hire IMO but I have no idea how you pass on Carslisle. |
No way were they hiring an old white guy after Ainge's comments. |
According to jWill this the first black head coach of Celtics |
Doc Rivers? |

Some of these commentators are embarrassingly uninformed  sometimes you just gotta be connected with the right folks to get the job, nothing else really matters |

Oh yeah. Usually I give people the benefit of the doubt but the power fist emoji cancelled that. Doc was literally just there plus doc has been topical after loss. |

Boston is going cheap with their coaching hire. No head coach experience. He probably won't be better than Stevens. F Boston.

Everyone has a first job. He’s highly regarded and has spent time under quality teachers. Regardless of being cheap or not we shall see if it’s a good hire |

M.L. Carr, as well (except for coaching them to a title).
1st All-Black starting 5, too.
Boston is a racist city, but the Celtics have nothing to prove.

Yeah who is an "expensive" coach out there that's waiting to be signed? Jeff Van Gundy? Who hasn't coached in 14 years?
People just scrounging for a "Haha! Boston!!" angle. I mean, yeah, eff Boston, but kudos to them for hiring a minority coach and giving someone new a chance. |

I started reading emplay during his BSKBALL.COM days. I've enjoyed it, but a few of years ago it seemed as if he was drinking Clippers-flavored Kool-Aid, so I haven't read any of his stuff in a while.

Emplay is a master disciple to Cap-tain Coon, so any CBA knowledge dropped by these guys is very much appreciated by me. And that’s all i gotta say about that.
As for the coaching search...

That MFer did Kob in, did a number on Harden, tried to get KD to rechilles via his proxy in Nash and now has his sights on Dame time. Portland better pass on that phoni in 7 seconds or less, otherwise we looking at Dame as a distressed asset real soon.

Tbh it's kind of shocking the Celtics didn't hire Carlisle. Lakers should go after him.

Then if he's willing, bring him in as an assistant to replace Kidd.

As it relates to the Boston Celtics tweet that came from my account a couple of hours ago… I did not post that & my passcode has now been changed. |
Typical tweet that a hacker would do 😂

Carlisle might want to consider the Orlando job. He likes to operate with a high degree of control and it’s a rebuild down there without any vet entanglements. No state income tax like Texas and ownership is said to want an experienced coach.
