Will Hardy is AA guy even if he didnt hire him. They used to share office walls in Boston and Austin spoke very highly of him. The way Ryan and DA also talk about him indicates that he is the savior more than any player currently on the roster. I would bet his leash is very long.

Doesnt really matter. Even if they make decissions as a collective the big picture and direction is determined by Ryan 1st, AA 2nd.

AI Shams with a good one. View: https://youtube.com/shorts/QKI3A4WMGeU?si=qOLwK1QLv8vt37rv

Pretty much exactly what I thought. It was premeditated and his philosophy is to have the team play at its maximum capacity... but it remains to be seen what that maximum capacity is.

There is a chance Ryan actually hired him because he wants to win. I dont know how last year impacted the business side and **** like that can really trump the value of a single draft pick in the eyes of the owner.

You guys think a first time POBO walks in front of media and makes a mic drop comment and then proceeds to do the opposite? Yeah media will surely fotget that and definitely wont point that **** out or anything.. People need to exit denial and embrace the change. Next season wont be the same...

We are suddenly top 4 buyer candidate for KAT?

Would you also agree than Kon may be more of a AA type guy than Tre? Not saying they would put them in the same tier, but just on a type analysis perspective. Assuming Celtics recent picks are reflective of "his type".

So this entire thread just did a full 180. What I've been able to gather from Celtic-verse is that Austin was in fact heavily involved in the scouting and talent evaluation side in their FO which sort of makes sense as to why we would also hire him at this exact moment. So I think its fair to...

The portion where he shoots 3s is edited in at least 8 points. Longest consecutive run of made shots without editing is 4.

The tanking question by the ESPN700 reporter was presented so poorly... but it was quite obviously a question that Austin was expecting and had prepared to answer. My biggest positive takeaway from his presser is that DA being a bargain hunter and a part time POBO days are over, and I feel more...

This. JZ is a lawyer and Ainge's are basketball lifers. DA never wanted ot signed up for a full time job. He wants to travel and watch college games with a heavy dose of golf mixed in (he loves to watch golf as well). Austin an actual full time POBO who looks over everything with basketball...

What is even more important is that arguably the 3 best players (sry JDub) in this series were acquired by these small market teams via trades. "Small market teams can only acquire top talent by drafting" -argument is looking rather shaky.

He makes sense for a lot of teams in the top 5, including us. I wouldn't mind getting him. In fact he is probably my top choice if Flagg, Harper, Tre and VJ are gone. I'm not a fan of Ace and I dont think our current team/culture will be the best way for him to start his career.

Dont know how legit and connected this guy is... but this is funny if true: View: https://x.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1929537006461218853

Had he followed Danny immediately, I would get the "nepo baby" arguments better. DA retired from his role in Boston in June 2021 and Austin stayed there with Brad Stevens for 4 years and was part of the FO finalizing the team that won the championship last season. He was probably a candidate...

Of course they can. We have seen a lot of guys guard Lauri pretty well despite giving up 3-4 inches on him. Which is a better example of the case in point. Yet we do have to maintain the general assumption that height disadvantage hurts a player defensively (assuming said player doesnt have...

No you used one time schemed defense as an example of "how smaller guys and guard bigger guys". Do you think Caruso could do it again now that the tape is out there? You think Nuggets would find ways to exploit that when they are better prepared for it? However you answer, what is a fact is...

Caruso's didnt guard Jokic in the tradtional "stay between your man and the basket" way. He guarded passing lanes more than anything and he had Chet on the weak side as a help defender who also effectively denied pindowns and lobs. He also hurt their screen game by switching and attacking the...
