On a recent sports radio talk show appearance, Boston Celtics lead governor Wyc Grousbeck recently shed some light on the transition from longtime team president Danny Ainge to current Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens.
Grousbeck revealed that Ainge’s departure was not a planned move, contrary to popular belief, and that the decision from Ainge to step down was even a bit of a disappointment. He also revealed that it was his idea to approach Stevens with an offer to replace Ainge as team president. Stevens accepted the offer overnight, leading to an unforeseen transition from head coach to head of basketball ops.
Stevens has since made pivotal moves, trading for players like Al Horford, Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday, putting himself in the conversation to win the NBA’s 2024 Executive of the Year award.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast took some time to talk it over on a recent episode — check it out above!
