If Keith’s sources are correct, then it looks like Marcus will be staying.

Can’t imagine Brad asked him his opinion to then send him packing. But I guess Ainge did it with IT, so maybe he does have that worminess to him as well.


Great.... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Another year of Smart jacking up endless amounts of 3s.


Careful. CAREFUL.

Should absolutely have a trigger warning for post that show smart in a bad light.

Fun Fact: The new Celtics head coach has the shortest name containing all the vowels in league coaching history.

Between Udoka and Horfie, Cs also have the handsomest young coach and veteran player combo in all of NBA.

Ainge Retires.
Stevens replaces him, leaving Coaching.
Celtics Trade Kemba, for Horford and others.
Celtics Hire Udoka, as next Head Coach.


And the Finals ain't even started yet!!!

Good hire in regards to resume, age, relatability to the players, and just low key enough to allow him to carve his own way rather than a retread or someone who's name would be too big to be a distraction.

What we'll see on the court, however, is a whole other ballgame... we got a nice find for coach, hopefully he's not set up to fail with poor roster moves.

Love it. Former player and spent many years in SA. I'm going to assume he'll recruit Blake Griffin and Patty Mills.

Will reserve all opinions until I see him in action as head coach. Not excited nor disappointed.

He’s proven that he shoots far less when we have a healthy team. How is him taking 2-3 bad shots a game worse than guys on the other end blowing defensive rotations double digit times a game?

Smart just shoots more when we are down guys, but that’s how everyone in the nba works.
