... Makes no sense promoting a top 5 coach away from coaching.

Ainge was an elite GM and Brad was an elite coach. Celtics fans will quickly find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

People trash on this duo, but they had been to 3 of the last 5 ECFs. Ainge brought them a title. It's hard to do better than the Celtics have over the past 15 years.

So that's what happens when you draft too many point guards but then backtrack to Kyrie and Kemba... Wooosh. I think Ainge is a great Exec. to be honest. So if Masai bolts MLSE step up to the plate! Sixers bombed last year and got Morey and Doc. I guess that is their take on accountability in a bubble and Covid Olympics. Thank gawd we didn't do 7-11 like the Celts. Maybe Brown and Tatum are the new Marner and Matthews. Crowned stars far too early.

I think the racism thing got Danny in the end. Not saying he's racist, but he's not exactly "woke" either. So he needs to spend some time in the wilderness. Raps have a reputation of being a woke franchise, so Ainge wouldn't be a good fit.

Celtics seem to have been ordered (by the league?) to bring in a black coach. Since the Hawks haven't extended Nate McMillan yet, Celtics should jump in with a pot of money. Why hire the guy who was fired before Nate came in and did a great job?

Can someone tell this guy about injuries? Kemba all season basically. Brown for the playoffs.

I'd still prefer to give the reins to Bobby and Dan, but if Masai takes them with him, I'd be perfectly happy replacing Masai with Ainge.
