This guy is often wrong but figured I'd post it

Ime Udoka, an assistant coach with the Nets, is believed to be at the top of Boston’s list to replace Stevens on the Celtics’ bench.

Per Marc Stein, seems like the job is Udoka's if he wants it

Well, if true, I hope he accepts it. If he didn't that would be pretty damning on the Cs. Whether it's true or not, it was reported today the Cs made an offer early on to "someone" but was turned down.

Really thought today would be the day we heard.

If they want him I hope they don't cheapen out.
I'm sure Stevens 1st contract was quite handsome.
Get it done and get on with it.

If we do go for Udoka, I wonder if we try and bring some of the Nets guys on board. Uncle Jeff, Bruce Brown and Blake Griffin are all free agents who we could probably afford..

F Jeff Green! Cant forgive him for hitting that corner 3 in game 7. I'd take a flyer on the other two tho!

I'm getting the feeling that if they move TT then outside of signing Fournier the band is getting back together. I really don't expect much of a difference in rosters between last year and this year. Which is plenty stupid. However if they want to go with Marcus as the PG then hopefully he doesn't try to be Steph.

Hoping Udoka will reign in brick-master Marcus. When he picks his spots he's a useful player offensively

Can you shoot me the link/source on that one? Curious to hear. I’m surprised they made an offer to someone already in general and can’t really imagine who.

At this point I think hes been in the league too long to fix his bad habits. His shot selection is awful.

I'm thinking more Patty Mills. We might could use a backup pg and a veteran shotmaker off the bench. Udoka certainly knows him.

If they can beef up the bench, I don't mind this scenario. Worst thing they can do is overreact to a down season and start blwoing things up. Already made one significant move.

A Smart/Fournier/Brown/Tatum/Horford lineup can place in the top-4 of the East for sure and has a lot of balance.

I would do bigger changes. This team needs a change of identity, and that not only comes with the coach. Areas to improve this summer:

1. A pass first PG, or at least that creates offense for others
2. Another PF
3. Improve your bench by adding at least a couple vets.

In order to do that, I believe Smart, Thompson and maybe Timelord will leave. Obviously our current bench needs to go asap. They add nothing. Just try to keep Pritchard and one of Nesmith/Langford and that´s about it. I expect at least seven players from our Playoff roster gone in the next weeks.

That bench needs to be cleared out except Nesmith and Prichard. That might have been a bottom 10 bench in the NBA

Yuck. Rob is a key piece. Agreed Smart needs to go, but likely JB needs to be swapped for another AS and Folks are expecting too much from a 35yo Al.

We're saying trade Kemba, trade Smart, trade Brown, etc. This isn't NBA 2K guys, those would be *massive* changes. Like scorched earth.

Celtics clearly value stability and continuity.

Stability and continuity of the current dysfunction would be a disaster. Massive changes are needed.

Trading Smart might be the best thing for his career and the team going forward.
