Lowe and Flannery touch on a couple notes on The Celtics. Here's a couple foot notes...



*Paul Flannery and Lowe thinks Celtics will look "massively" different and "swing for the fences".

*Both guys think Love would be a "fantastic" fit for Brad Stevens and would look like Minnesota Kevin Love.

*Brad can build the offense around him and have players cutting and moving in his system and Love would thrive.

*Thinks Boston would be a good place to rehabilitate his image some.

*Ainge has no fear of bringing in talented "headaches" ala Demarcus Cousins.

*Celtics need to decide how untradeable Marcus Smart is. Smart is the one player teams will always ask for in a blockbuster and may just hang up if he's off the table.

*Flannery says Celtics have "interesting" dynamic in front office in which Ainge pushes everybody for their opinion and challenges it, but ultimately makes the choice. Has been talked out of a couple moves before.

TP for the find, havent listened yet but there are some nice points from what you pointed out,

most notably the first and last points.

Looking around the league and at the C's I see a lot of avenues for change, but I must say I expect the offseason to consist of a draft tradeup to the 8-14 range and 1 or 2 value FAs. sure I hope and think its possible that we add a KLove or overhaul the roster in some other way, but I dont expect us to look that different.

I think thats a great way for Ainge to be.  Makes me think we are in good hands.

Maybe Ainge read Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, the book about Lincoln that supposedly influenced the construction of Barack Obama's Cabinet.
