Is Brad Stevens on his way to being the best coach in the league?
>tfw they have a top 5 pick
yes
>1st season (roster being a revolving door, no Rondo)
25-57
>2nd season (roster being a revolving door until trade deadline)
40-42
>3rd season (roster intact)
44-32 with 6 games remaining
If the Celtics had a Curry or Lebron they are easy locks for the ECF. Gotta win the Simmonsbowl or Ingramsbowl though.
Why does he look like he is 17?

>Billy King literally acquired Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry and D.J. White from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks, Keith Bogans and their unprotected first-round draft picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018. The Celtics also received the right to swap first-rounders with the Nets in 2017.

>Lakers and Celtics get the #1 and #2 overall
>>66530156
ty Billy King
>>66530156
I'm happy for the Celtics, but I'm also happy for the Nets being shit. Fuck Brooklyn, fake-ass city full of hipsters and foreigners. They deserve a fake plastic team.
>>66530156
Thanks for reminding me.

He's already 2nd best and will be the undisputed #1 the moment Pop retires
>Brett Brown Coach of the Year 2018
>>66530156
JUST
>>66533588
Soon to be retired,
>>66530156
holy fuck
the nets will likely be garbage for years to come. we're talking about a probable three top five picks in the next three years AND making the play-offs (and possibly going deep) for nothing.
>tank they said
>>66529902
given the talent he is working with, he is already near the top. he just hasn't had enough time to win championships
>>66534826
justise winslow would have been real nice though

The Nets being shit is the only ray of light in this miserable, awful season. I hate everything about them, they make other NBA franchises look authentic by comparison.
>>66530156
>>66530156
Good lord, is this the worst trade of all time? They ruined the franchise for almost a decade
Theyre a superstar away from being the best team in the east for the next few years, and with the assets they have, they could reasonably make a big trade for someone like Jimmy Butler, Kevin Love or Boogie Cousins, or maybe even attract Durant in FA, or luck out in the lottery and get Ben Simmons. I can't wait to see what Stevens can do when he gets a player like that on this team.
>no mention of Budenholzer
>/sp/ buying into the Boston hype machine yet again
You sicken me

Well there was Ted Stepien, who was so shitty that the NBA made a rule preventing teams from trading away back to back first round picks.

Then again, Billy King found a loophole to that rule with the 'right to swap picks' in 2017, so I guess King wins.
>>66534995
Winslow would be nice, but if they weren't trying to win last year they wouldn't have traded for Isaiah
>>66530156
Based Danny knew what he was doing. Feels gud. Red taught him well
>>66536846
Damn, Danny fleeced em. Feels gud
Yup. The guy will get the ring in a few more seasons
>>66536631
He had his sole shot last year. It's all over, man.
>>66535405
Robert Parish and the 3rd pick (Kevin McHale) for #1 pick (Joe Barry Carroll)
>>66530156
Admittedly, the lad was hired to put together a win-now team at any cost. Blame the rich Russian on that one. Then again, failing to install the most basic of pick protections is ungodly retarded.
>>66529902
He's been the best basketball coach in the world since he took Butler to back to back title games 5 years ago.
