Dayum. They gonna hire him while the season is on-going? Hilarious. When did Boston turn woke? Suspend the man for breaking company policy but not the female's who broke the same policy. Makes sense. Bring back the old garden and their insensitive, racist repulsive fans. It's better for the NBA. If Ime ends up coaching the Nets and they succeed hurting our Wemby stakes, Celtics enter my Lakers level hate territory. I feel bad for Steve. How any of it is his fault is beyond me. Dude had a mess of a roster with players coming and going and Kyrie being at his worst. While they were at full strength, they were a KD foot on line away from likely going on to be champs as i don't see Phoenix beating them. I have preached a veteran coach for our young Rockets, but i absolutely have been in favor of bringing in a leader in the form of a former superstar player with great assistants around him. Penny was my pick and i wanted Grant Hill to step into coaching too, but was really happy for Steve to get the opportunity. Just barely got a chance to have any consistency with the roster.
That is what you believe, I believe my sixth sense as my sixth sense has proven to be not that inaccurate in the past. I can respect that of course, sometimes staying an assistant for life is not that bad of a deal. There are much better coaching prospects around the league and younger too.
True. I always saw him as a quiet jokester in his playing days with a few emotional outbursts like he had the other night when he got kicked out of the game. Maybe he's smart and friendly and savy enough to make a great GM, but he's rich and he's got young kids. I doubt he's interested in trying anything involving coaching or GM type of job. He was never interested in any of it in the first place. Definitely can see his personality fitting in a TNT analyst role, but not a Reggie Miller game announcer. Can't see him fitting in with ESPN either. ESPN is ****.
Doubtful. Apparently the whole sexual harassment case is not that at all. The man slept with the wife of one of the teams co-owners. Someone found out and was going to spill the beans. This is where the issue happened. The problems for the Celtics are that (1) they had no team policy on this, but even if they did, it is unlikely that any policy would apply as the woman in question was not a team employee. (2) therefore, the person who was threatening to reveal the information may not have much of a leg to stand on, as the relationship in question is not between an employee and an employer. Therefore, it gets into the realm of gossip, which is not protected under employment law. (3) This explains why the team did not fire him; because they have no cause to do so. I bet he is probably still getting paid. We will know if and when he leaves for another job. If he does and the Celtics get no comp, that will tell us that to them, the comp is getting him off of the payroll.
Nash never had a chance with Kyrie bringing them down. Add the headcase of Ben Simmons and it's a disaster. I lost a lot of respect for Nash this week when he refused to say anything about Kyrie's antisemitism. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he was told to keep quiet from the higherups, but now he's free and I hope a reporter calls him out for it.
LOL from Nash to Udoka ok Shams Charania on Twitter: "The Brooklyn Nets plan to hire Ime Udoka as their new head coach, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Boston granted the Nets permission to speak to Udoka and will allow him to leave freely, sources said." / Twitter
He may be upset today, but I bet he’ll be happy tomorrow. There are better things to do with your life than try to clean up that mess.
He’s better off. Steve Nash has a great legacy and reputation, a lot of money, and could do anything he wants at this point. Why would he want to continue to sully himself by being associated with those idiots?
Udoka can coach. They are not giving af though. Eventually Ime was going to get hired again, but I didn't expect it to be this soon.
