If true, it makes me respect Stevens less. He's not up to the task of trying to mold a generational talent, and he's commenting on a guy he's never worked with.

Imagine if Bill Belichek had that mindset.

Ask all the guys Belichick cut when more often then not they don't work out. So much easier to cut your losses in NFL. Comparison doesn't work.

He had it with Terry Glenn if I remember correctly.

I respect an honest answer thats different than mine.   


Brad has the respect of his boss, players and that is most important.....Even the rest of the league, except maybe DMC, Sulley and You Mr. Hobbs.


I'm sure if you knew more you'd trust his decision.       He loves this team.....   This winning team.   With a bright future.   Him, IT and Danny are all in...

Au contraire. It makes me respect CBS even more. He knows what he wants in his team, obviously.

I wonder what Alvin Gentry said when he was asked.

The point is, Belicheck doesn't say no to coaching guys because they're difficult.

If Cousins hadn't worked out, how much worse of a position would we have been in? It was low/moderate risk versus extremely high reward.

Polite, mediocre talent?

Having one star, no size, and some good role players worked at Butler. It's not going to in the NBA.

I do too. I totally buy that he didn't want Cousins but I don't think he'd say it. He's far more diplomatic than that.

Fake news.

Brad didn't say that.

I'm sure Max was "hyperboling".

Sounds like someone invested a lot of time obsessing on a moot situation and feels betrayed, so he attacks our coach.

He forgets that Cousins threw Marcus to the ground or the million other problems with Cousins and how much he'd cost to resign?

What about all the plays when Cousins quits during games?

Demarcus Cousins is a clown who would have destroyed what the Celtics are building.

Brad Stevens is a genius.
