Celtics Gm Brad Stevens game stars Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart the right to impact who would be their next head coach after reports of turmoil in the locker room under his leadership last season. The players chose Brooklyn Nets assistant Ime Udoka who already has experienced coaching the 3 stars as he was an assistant coach for Team USA for the Fiba World Cup in 2019 which Smart, Tatum and Brown all participated. This move gives the Celtics a coach of color which many felt was gonna happen and was likely something players were gonna force due to the current issues in the country and the fact the NBA players are trying to send a political message which only intensified after the incident with Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving in the Celtics 1st round playoff loss in game 4 of the NBA Playoffs. So with this move now officially in the books how does the Celtics Talk Radio Crew feel about it? Do they feel Ime Udoka was the best option available knowing the issues that have been reporting regarding the players on the roster or did the ownership and Brad Stevens give in to the players demands too easily? What about expectations now since this is the coach the players chose should expectations be lifted for this team going foward meaning if they fail the coach can no longer be blamed? What about the issue of free agency in a month you now no longer have Ainge as your GM, you got a black coach instead of a white one which seems to be a something the NBA Players care about now a days will Brad Stevens now be able to make moves compared to what Ainge did? What about our top stars are they now willing to recruit or will they still say thats not their jobs like Tatum recently did? We try to discuss all of it in 3 hours and let you hear what insiders are saying on tonights Celtics Talk Radio. We will be joined by Adam Taylor (@AdamTaylorNBA on twitter) of Celtics Blog
