Isn't Stoudamire Grant Williams' cousin? Could that get awkward?

Dang.  Combine those two into one player and we probably have a Hall of Famer. Lol.

New coaching staff

Source: As of right now, longtime Celtics assistant coach Jay Larranaga isn’t expected to return to the team.

Larranaga had been with the team since 2012 and served on the coaching staffs of Doc Rivers & Brad Stevens.

He also interviewed to replace Rivers & Stevens.

Goodluck Larranaga

He'll be great to work with PP!

Actually reminds me more of Carson Edwards; wonder if they still have some hope of resurrecting him.

Sounds good to me. Would be great if they could get Damon Stoudamire on the coaching staff as well. Always enjoyed watching him play.

He'll great for both if they're both still here. I like bringing explayers. They have cache baby!

Stoudamire would be a fantastic hire for us. PP comes to mind but I think he helps Smart out the most is Smarts “new” role is point guard.

Great to see emphasis on former players on the (coaching) roster. Thought that was something really lacking the last few years.

[Who]

I'd like Damon Stoudamire. I remember younger players speaking well of him as an older veteran / mentor / wise voice in the locker room type of guy.

Honestly, what's the problem with it? Is it Ed Lacerte? Is it Brian McKeon? Just seems like everytime we have knee issues, nothing improves for us. Then players go to Phoenix and somehow they recover miraculously... Has anyone pinpointed what the main problem, if any, with our medical staff/trainers is?
