I wuz wrong, y'all! He's not On The Move like I figured he'd be. Not yet, anyway!

What I did say was...

I didn’t have many wild NBA preseason predictions, except for this one:

Danny Ainge, quietly, is preparing for his exit from Boston.

 

And I guess that's right, given Brevens is getting his gig. But I also guessed he'd be heading back West, so that part's wait-and-see.

So now Ainge can become Brian Kemp's body double or is it the other way around. Hoping not to witness endless interviews with him in the near future.

I'm decided.  The Stevens announcement coming the same day K begins his Duke exit is no coincident.  Duke will give Scheyer the gig for a year to take the buffer period following the legend.  Then they turn it over to Stevens.

Once K saw the NCAA was gonna let kids get paid on their own, instead of Duke financing their "college" careers behind the scenes, he's gettin' outta Dodge.  Haha

Anything that comes even remotely close to negativity for the Celtics means it is indeed a good day. All smiles here.

Utah would move whatever Ainge perceives as heaven and earth to get him in their front office.

How did Ainge escape scrutiny for his stupid "i've never heard racist things in 28 years in Boston".   I mean he should have been fired on the spot for saying something so dumb.

I hate 2 players more than any in history.

1. Ainge

2. Laimbeer

3. Paul Pierce

ok 3... lol.

Schlenk has done so well that even Landry fields calls now.

Listening to Scalabrine tryna rationalize all this Selltic nonsense is hilarious.  He just went through a mental obstacle course to explain that Stevens' failure to challenge Tatum's poor shot selection and lack of progression in his game was actually Braaad getting ready for the president job.

Huh?

He said he was preparing to be disconnected with the players or stte.  What TF?

Apparently this decision was made around the trade deadline, which explains why strAinge was totally checked out half the year.

He's really. really got the groove.

Ask them where they're going? They don't know!

I don't know.   Are they ever going to go anywhere?   Quinn's teams have been great in the regular season only to get smoked in the playoffs not by the eventual champs by some other also ran.    I don't know what they can do but seems like they should be trying to find another solid all star to pair with Mitchell.

Gobert hides really well for a big guy lol, what more can he do?

Their problem is Mitchell.  He's been told he's Wade for so long he believes he has to take every shot.  In reality, their strength is in their depth of talent.  In the playoffs, they stop using it.  Only gonna get worse now that the actual Wade is there to be in his ear about taking over.

Watch how Gobert plays in the Olympics. He's not complete trash on O, which is how the Jazz treat him.
