Scott: The Celtics are exploring the possibility of adding another staff member. Joe MazzuraOne potential internal candidate is Jarrell ChristianHe was previously head coach and assistant coach for the Maine Celtics. Scott Brooks Two seasons with the Wizards. Christian has just become the general manager of his G-League affiliate, Maine, the Celtics in Boston.I’m curious what Boston is doing now that I didn’t get Jay Laranaga And if they pivot and bring in additional staff members in some capacity, where does it go from there.
Weiss: In general, the Christian thing is interesting because GM roles in Maine aren’t usually full-time positions. Remy Cofieldwas a scout. in front of him Dave Lewinwas a scout director. Austin Ainge It was before that. This has always been a member of the Celtics’ high-level scouting division who was doing it as part of their job.
Scott: clearly Brad (Stevens) I trust Mazura.he chose him over the rest of the staff Damon Stoudamire,Such. What does it mean in the locker room for Mazura to be the man leading this team?
Weiss: Publicly there was pretty good support. I think the big thing was that he was there for a while and they generally loved him for a while. He was the new star of the team. He was the only assistant to carry on from the Stevens era. This year he was supposed to move to the front of the bench.It’s him, Stoudamire, and Ben Sullivan In front of Udoka and the bench.
The timing here is interesting when you compare Will HardyWas one of the more experienced and still young assistant coaches in the league. Hardy is not necessarily a great coach, nor is he going to be a great coach at least in the long run. Who’s more ready now? I think Hardy is more ready now, but everyone talks about how ready Mazura is.
I think players are pretty into it. I think they like him as a replacement or an interim. I think they like that they’re the ones they’ve been with for a while.
