The Celtics have found their replacement for Doc Rivers and it’s former college coach Brad Stevens who most recently took Butler to back-to-back NCAA finals.
“Brad and I share a lot of the same values,” Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said. “Though he is young, I see Brad as a great leader who leads with impeccable character and a strong work ethic. His teams always play hard and execute on both ends of the court. Brad is a coach who has already enjoyed lots of success, and I look forward to working with him toward Banner 18.”
The next obvious thing for the Celtics to discuss is the future of Rajon Rondo who might not want to be apart of a rebuilding effort with a young coach and team.
