 I just heard this on a 45 minute celtic YouTube video. I'll post both videos. Then the guy said " If you believe the timeline from the celtics "

 Went onto say how good Brad is at keeping secrets and how good the celtics are at keeping secrets. 

 Anyone know what exactly he's talking about?

After the trade deadline, Danny told Brad he was going to retire.

I like both Danny and Brad and think they both did a lot for the Celtics but they both looked like they were phoning it in this past year. I mentioned it all year.

I would not be surprised that Danny knew he was going to retire several months ago.  And I would not be surprised that Brad felt the team is no longer listening to him several months ago.  And when they discuss these thoughts Danny asked Brad hey would you like to have my job.

The "official" story goes back to February, right? Danny tells Wyc he's thinking of retiring and Wyc goes to Brad and asks him if he's interested in Danny's job. I'm sure there's a combination of truth and spin to that general timeline of events.

Interesting that Wyc said Brad could probably still be the coach if he wanted. He also said the front office job and head coach are two different jobs with the Celtics, which would mean Brad had his choice of one but not both.

Danny also recently hinted that his engagement (delegating to others in the front office) might have to change. At the time it seemed he might be stepping back in to do less delegating. Was that the case at the time? Or was he referencing stepping away? Perhaps nothing was official until the end of the season. But certainly I think they all discussed the possible plans for a while before that.
