Will Hardy expected to be hired as head coach

[idiot]

Picked Ainge's friend instead I guess.

Why do you say this? Isn't he a post-Ainge Boston hire?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

The organization never has which has been our point all along.

They have to an acceptable line... they seemed like they were about to cross that acceptable line.

Yeah, he was with San Antonio but then was hired by Udoka when Ainge left and Stevens was promoted. He has 0 ties to Danny.

I was kidding, but yeah the Ainge Boston connection... I mean I know its the post ainge era but Danny boy was on the damn court two seconds after the final buzzer went off. I think he has a relationship there more than say Johnny Bryant.

I’m not going to pretend like I know if this is a good hire or not the one thing I don’t really get deep into is coaches. All that matters is we hired him and he’s our guy now. Go Jazz baby!!!

FWIW Woj said that he blew everyone away during our interview with him and that the Knicks were really impressed with him a couple years ago but decided to go with Thibs.

I'm sure that Danny consulted with Stevens before hiring him though.

No complaints here. But I do have a little concern about players buying into a younger and less experienced head coach.

I like that the Hardy hire seems like it keeps our options open. If we want to hold our guys until the deadline or make minor moves to run it back - great, Hardy just went through a situation where people were saying that Tatum and Brown needed to be split up. If we want to rebuild, he’s young and comes from a great pedigree. Just glad we didn’t seem to cater to what Donovan was wanting.

He seems to have a lot of fans and seems like a great hire... I was really kind of joking.

 

[Jingled]

Sounds like the Jazz are signing Hardy to a 5 year deal. He will be the youngest head coach in the league.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I’m just glad we didn’t go with a retread who’s been fired already.

Austin Ainge is the Celtic assistant GM.
