Not much of anything.  He has been a Pacer for years.  Might actually like him out of the East.

He'll always be a Celtic in my eyes.

I think that is the case for most people.

Bird would never do it.  He won't coach again.

I think, and also hope, that it's pure speculation.

Not sure why Larry would want the migraine that is the Lakers team. Plus, can't imagine he & LBJ getting along

Is Bill Russell also in line for the job? He has coached two championship teams!

Fine. It's not like the C's are offering him a lifetime coaching job. Coaches move around.

More likely he takes the Celtics coaching job if it became available.

But then again, could you imagine Larry having Danny as his boss?

Forget I said that.

not to highjack the thread - but would you swap in Larry legend for Brad? - he was a very good coach in Indy.....if this season ends in the first round, I am a YES

Putting aside the fact for a minute that Bird isn't coaching again, he hasn't coached an NBA game in nearly 20 years.  That's a long time. 

Who knows if he would even be a good fit to coach in today's NBA.   It's a helluva gamble.

Bill Sharman did it. I think it would be weird but it wouldn't change the way I feel about The Legend.
