Celtics Extend Contracts of Ainge and Stevens

[aingeforthree]

Please be 10+ years for both.  These 2 have their act together.

Some of the best in the biz.

Prediction:

5 years from now, Stevens will be the longest-tenured head coach in the NBA.

yes, this is very likely to happen. people like Pop and Carlisle will have retired by then. This is really cool when you think about it.

Let's read the fine print. You know there's an out clause.

[SHAQATTACK]

We are watching the young stages of what could become the greatest coach of his time.

If Danny can just start a cycle of stars coming in ....CBS will see they get rings.

Great news!! Very well deserved, these two guys are our best assets.

I still remember when the news broke out that Ainge hired Stevens, celticsblog went nuts with everyone accusing Ainge of going into full on tank mode by hiring a crappy coach. Just goes to show that we gotta have some patience and trust in Ainge. Ownership sure does.

Well if free agents want stability , and know what they are signing up for , here you go.....

Power play by Wyc , he wants fireworks .

That's crazy that Stevens got extended with three years still remaining on his contract. Excellent work. I agree that this is a sign to potential free agents as showing stability, along with it being a no-brainer for all parties involved.

Very well stated.

I'd like to take a moment to ask CoachBo what he thinks of this.

CoachBo said that Brad would leave soon if we didn't surround him with better talent and that Danny isn't doing his job right, which will lead to Brad leaving for other teams.

What do you say now, CoachBo? Is Brad still gonna leave?

CoachBo has a GM scout very close the situation who says Ainge is one of the worst GMs in the league. He has it on good authority that Ainge is actually signing a contract abbreviation with will pull all of his money into the next season so Brad can leave with no financial loss.

DA the GM to owners: I really think we have a great GM and we should sign him and give him lots of money.

I couldn't be happier about this. Stability might not be sexy, but it's essential.

Jpotter, you were worried about losing Brad to the Pacers like a month a go? Lol

Sounds to me like Stevens knows he's not going to get a cadaver like Dragan Bender in the draft ...
