Danny Ainge Steps down as Celtics GM, Brad Stevens moves into GM role and gives up HC position

[Street Knowledge]

ainge is a classic case of was hot when he started but now he's just garbage. it started going downhill for the celtics when they didn't want to trade "assets" for butler/PG.

so he went from top ten to not mentioned at all

 

[Miles Davis]

Brad Stevens might as well step down with them as the next GM is going to want to bring in their own guy.

@GOAT change the thread title. Danny Ainge is gone, Stevens is the new GM, and they're looking for a new HC.

How do I change the title?

So why give him an extension if he was worn down from coaching? They could have easily just gave him an extension when transitioning him into the new role. You legit had this dude out here wasting a year of time with players knowing that his heart wasn't into it anymore.

This report makes it look even worse on all parties involved.

This the same nikka they were comparing to Pop? Soft.

@GOAT

Updated the title my guy

Tell me how breh Never done this shyt before

 

[feelosofer]

Even with the not so great moves, I still think Ainge was one of the best front office guys in the league BUT staying in one place too long is never good for any team and they may also want to move on from Brad Stevens.

LOL underachieve all season and then get promoted

 

[MikelArteta]

brad fell upwards and will prob steve kerr himself to another coaching gig whenever he feels ready again.

 

[FlyBoy718]

He lost his players this year. They stopped listening to him

And now he's in a position to determine their playing futures as a GM. The irony is crazy

 

[UpAndComing]

A coach that actually wants to coach, I’m sure.

We said all season dude was mailing it in @GOAT @UpAndComing @KevJ

I don't care how anyone wants to spin this

This is a DEMOTION for Brad Stevens. The owners don't believe in his coaching abilities, and he's on the hot seat. And I'm hype

Imagine D Mitch playing for this old fakkit

what did danny think this is hockey?

Yea he's like 45. There's coaches in their 70s and have been coaching for 50 years. Doesn't make sense.

He found it easier to coach in the NCAA where he could have the clear upper-hand over a bunch of unpaid recruits than in the NBA where players don't have to put up with his bullshyt, is my guess on what that really means.

I wouldn't hire white coaches from college like Stevens or Bielein to coach an NBA squad. I think they get used to that top-down approach to coaching and struggle to adjust to some degree when black players in the NBA don't respond to it.

I'm not saying that white college coaches can't win games in the NBA, but I think it's a culture clash for them that they are not suited to in the long run.
