Quote of the Day

You really would think that you’d want somebody that’s experienced, especially for the Boston Celtics. They are the type of organization that could not only hire a top name and go out and maybe even get a guy that’s in a job elsewhere and recruit him to Boston.
-- ESPN's Brian Windhorst, on the Celtics promoting coach Brad Stevens to President of Basketball Operations following Danny Ainge stepping down from the role.
