after losing a coach to the Clippers, but it really takes the cake that there were rumors that we could lose CBS to OKC. Really? Is that what this league has come to? Coaches chasing teams with superstars? Please tell me not all coaches are like Glen Rivers.

Every team in the league should want Brad Stevens and every player in the league should want to play for him.

Where did you read those rumors?

of course every team should want CBS, but have the Cs got so low that there is even a risk of us losing a coach to another team? That is part of the problem caused by Glen Rivers. He really lowered the allure of the job when he quit the Celtics to go to the Clippers of all teams. This is why an OKC summoned the audacity to think they could even look at our coach.

And that is why I dislike Flop Rivers and anything affiliated with him today. Overrated coach lol.

we disagree on this one Yoki,

I bet you no one ever tries to poach a coach from the Lakers UNLESS that coach has put out word that he wants out. That is how it should be with the Celtics, it should be seen as the best job in basketball. Thanks to Glen Rivers who was never really committed to the team we now have to worry that our good coach may be looking at another job. Even Indiana had the gall to poach our coach.

But Doc Rivers wanted out. We could have easily lost Rivers for nothing. He could have retired just so he won't coach, and then come back next year. But we got a first round pick for him. Any Lakers coach who wanted out of that team could easily do the same thing.

I'm sorry, but you need a little reality check, friend. The current Celtics isn't exactly as appealing as the Lakers, even today. The legacy apparently isn't enough to attract a big name coach, and I can't blame them. No stars, full of young talent but untapped potential. We're lucky that we landed Brad. Premier coaches like Rivers (although I'm not sure about that) normally doesn't want to be in a rebuilding (which technically amounts to losing) situations.

"My new hot girlfriend has tons of guys pursuing her."

"I blame my ex-girlfriend. She was hot too, and broke up with me to date someone better looking."

"Obviously if that hadn't happened, my current girlfriend would not be pursued by guys."

"I'm so insulted."

just curious, but do you have any links or evidence for this or your original point about CBS being poached?

Brilliant - thank you for taking a moronic argument and clearly and succinctly demonstrating just how incredibly moronic it really is.
