it's worth a lot dot here and not culver city california ben welcome to locked up
studios it's been awhile since you've been here for come uh... pressure at the
heart of flight it is our divine or were in a little area near the top
uh... itself but
brad stevens
has just been named the boston celtics
head coach
uh... my initial reaction was
uh... brad stevens i anybody but however we're talking in the office yesterday
and you were throwing out a few names that just got hired weather was
assistant uh... coaches or head coaches and you're even saying that you know who
the hell these guys are a couple guys you sound like they were in the german
army in world war two cv an example like overbought her very your order
but uh... this makes the total sense
uh... because the rebuilding
it makes total sense because he might be one of the great basketball mines
uh... generation
we don't know yet
you know the success of bombers six six and forty nine two back-to-back national
championship games
all the success in the verizon lee
obviously can coach using
game coach you can get the most out of young players that was my blood doesn't
always translate but he is alert but you know leopardi but he's only thirty six
years old
and i would imagine that uh... my hunch is
i would hire him at the wizards at an opportunity to hire him i'd be thrilled
because there's a chance leave really struck something you might have a great
great coach for the next ten or fifteen years it doesn't work out doesn't work
out and then all of a sudden it's easier for brad stevens point of view
to come back and land at a height major job yet made trouble even butler
for this year u_c_l_a_ in last year's other big prodigy clearly close to
u_c_l_a_
now if it doesn't work out a couple of years in the n_b_a_ you'll come back and
they'll be the next coated
elias date or do
uh... that actually i did for me at that point
that you-know-what
rick pitino and a few others
and i mean even look at nixon and football
i mean if they're not successful
in the n_f_l_ or in the n_b_a_ they can always go back in their war always be a
place for them in college basketball league place for a guy like brad stevens
and engaged d_k_b_ back before a sporty but i think there's every chance that he
could be a great n_b_a_ coach
you know he's lily really smart and and grounded guy
and ghetto that i hope you'll succeed i think it's a great uh... and is a great
place that is no is gonna care when he goes seventeen sixty-five in the first
year
no one will carry you think no they're not running this year
we had this year but i mean look at what's good for you just less next year
there a lot of good names so let's say they do and to those big names custom
but i think he's a great deal will turn into a eric's pollster type situation
where they get a big star then it's like all of the stars are running the team
not to cut nobody doubts
stevens acim in or
the right he has to be an n_b_a_ head coach that we've handed him anything he
succeeded wildly succeeded inouye state a path that others haven't taken this is
not a guidance to go to the n_b_a_ me assistant coach me he's gonna go the
n_b_a_ it's gonna be zipcode it just happens to be a two-story franchise but
it's perfectly they have and it might be two years i don't know when they're
going to strike in free agency i would think that this
with a with it
point guard like
rondo who's clearly
headstrong
like dealing with rondo is clearly not
we can say that and dot reversed
presumably very well
this to me makes it
little more likely rather makes it easier for brad stevens no question but
i think it makes a lot more likely that they on the court yes but i think
they'll deal but i think exicted there's jag on personal on hardly alone there
was a chance of a trade rondo anyway i think
i think this move
makes it a little more likely that they said a red stevens this is look
next year
sorry is gonna be a disaster we had another significant etc
we got what
we gotta pick for the clippers we got to pick from the nets
we got our own pic
the you're gonna have a lot of players and we're gonna have money to spend it
