I see Brad as a loyal Danny guy. So if Danny leaves I see Brad leaving as well.

If Danny goes, it's all but guaranteed Zarren is replacing him, right?

If Brad goes, his replacement could be anybody.

If Danny goes, he'll probably retire (but may consult somewhere else).

If Brad goes, he'd be scooped up right away, maybe even by a division or conference rival.

If I had to pick one, I'd go with the devil I know and keep Stevens.

Replace Brad ASAP.

I'm done with him, no more excuses.

clearly the answer is Danny.  He is 100% responsible for this disaster of a roster and poor decision after poor decision since he basically pulled off the Tatum trade.  just one mess after another creating new messes to get out of the prior ones.

So Brad is going to fix the problem? Your question is flawed because Brad and Danny have different roles. Keeping Brad over Danny solves nada.

Brad can't fix the problem, but he isn't the problem with the team.  The flawed roster is and Danny has shown over the last several years he doesn't know how to fix it and is making it worse with each additional move.

This.

At this point, think you could make Brad coach/GM and get better results. Nobody would tune out the coach who can execute a trade overnight. Give Brad a shot at coach/GM and I bet we’re champions in 2-3 years.

I’ll support another year of Danny, but I hope Wyc forces him into retirement and hands the keys to Stevens. If Brad is shown the door this off-season, Danny better be shown the door too.

I predict

DA leaves for what ever reason you want to believe, but he leaves never less despite the rumors

CBS hangs on with new GM for 1 or more years , depending on success

if the club declines longer then

CBS is out

There is a chance the C's would stay in-house with Zarren for GM if Danny retired.

My take is we just need the old Danny and the old Brad. Some sort of spell was cast over both of them when IT was traded. Ever since, they've both lost their aggressiveness.

So does everybody else, including Toronto.

That's the problem with wanting to get rid of the people you already have ... who you getting to replace them?  Are you going to get the best person available?  Is the best person available better than what you have?

Or are you looking for change just for the sake of change?

I think DA has done a really good job.  Like in the past, kind of screwed that Sacramento and Memphis had good years when their picks conveyed to us, but have to play the hand you're dealt.

I just assume at some point Danny will retire and take on an advisory role and Zarren will take over the day to day GM job.

I think Ainge is more replaceable at this point than Brad.

If Danny goes in this hypothetical, do we keep Zarren or is he considered part of the Ainge team? If we keep Zarren I definitely think you part with Ainge before Stevens.

But I'd prefer to keep the front office and head coach in place for now.

Oof, a lot of party poopers in this one. It’s a poll meant to make you choose between 2 imperfect options. Therefore, it purposefully doesn’t provide you with a “both” or “neither”.

I’ll play the game. I’ll keep CBS. As critical as I’ve been of him, this is the first year he’s underperformed. Meanwhile, I think DA has let slip some opportunities to shore up the bench or get some value from players he has signed. He’s had an unbelievable streak of getting top flight players here (Horford, Kyrie, Hayward) but they all pretty much left for nothing (except for the Hayward TPE).
