Wyc specifically answered this question today during the press conference, saying the Boston Celtics are not run this way....he was pretty serious too.
Yep, and Brad made it sound like he could possibly do it someday right before Wyc made the comments. Let’s say Brad’s going to be GM for 2-3 years, Zarren takes over, and Brad goes back to being HC. If that’s the secret plan here, who does Brad hire to do the HC job 2-3 years max? What’s the list of extremely experienced coaches with a desire to only coach 2-3 years max?
On a related note, why pass up Zarren when you could have him as GM and retain Stevens as HC? Maybe because Stevens’ just needs a couple years as GM before coming back to coaching the Celtics with his own team.
Something tells me Brad made some brilliant roster suggestions over the years, Ainge went a different direction, and ownership knows how good it all could have been had Brad gotten his way. So give him a couple years to build the dynamo team and then get him back to coaching them.
