Good to hear! I haven’t listened to it yet, but Brad typically gives very good interviews.
Keith Smith: Brad Stevens was asked on @Toucherandrich if he’d have interest in coaching the Los Angeles Lakers: “I definitely would not leave the Celtics to go to the Lakers. Like, I’m definitely not doing that. I know that for a fact.” – via Twitter KeithSmithNBA

That’s the last coaching job a family man like him wants. , watching a decent guy Vogelget thrown under the bus . Moreover , especially now how we see James ruined the already screwed up team even more bring in his three ring circus of nut jobs. It’s circus show of Kardashian types …Phil Jackson fit perfect , more weirdo types or hippyish now crowd zen whatever . What a mess, only another screwball could imagine Brad there. , who thinks LA CA is any kind of normal place to live.
I remember Jackie MacMullen talking about how a lot of people use the "spend more time with my family" line when they leave a job because it sounds good. In Brad's case, he didn't say that but it was actually a big factor. He truly does want to spend more time with his family than being an NBA head coach allows for.
Maybe he'll coach again but the idea of him jumping back into it this soon and for the Lakers of all teams... seems farfetched.
