Brad is entering his Lawrence Frank stage of gestation

I have a hard time believing Brad is OK with not coaching anymore. I assumed he was a lifer. Though I guess if he wants more time with the family and still wants to get paid and then when his kids are older he goes back to coaching or something.

That's the part that surprised me.

I think Brad is self aware enough to realize the players were starting to tune him out a little.

Yeah he knew he wasn't the coach for the Celtics. Now whether he wanted out and the owners said you are under contract for 6 more years we are reassigning you or he is genuinely OK with being the GM I have no idea. He didn't look that psyched to me.

Marv just called Reggie Grant Hill lol

Hell of a job Solomon Hill.

I enjoy the hate. The Celtics and nets players were basically sucking each other off after the game last night.

But he’s not really getting family time as a GM. He’s watching video all the time and going to tiny sweaty gyms all over the world to find the guy nobody else sees. My guess is that he feels like he can effect the team more from the personnel side than the coaching side in the NBA. It’s possible he just always wanted that job and that’s one of the best jobs in the game.

Noel is a hack.

i hate in sports when someone says "i got it!" but then they miss it.

I've never forgiven him for trading Perk.

Here's to the new boss. Same as the old boss.

He doesn't have to be in the room with the players everyday dealing with their bullshit and I think that's the burnout. Plus while there is a ton of travel he can pick and choose which road trips he skips and he can send an underling to Croatia to watch some kid. Not every time but sometimes. Even 20% more time at home could be enough to make the wife and kids happy. This all feels like a band aid anyways. Brad might be willing to try this and see if maybe he likes it but with the Duke job open now this might not last long.

Again why so much talk about the crappy East #7 seed Celtics?
