Boston Celtics What Ifs?: Ime Udoka staying in Boston; Celtics drafting Desmond Bane



We’re now in the lull of the offseason, so it’s time to play a game of “what if?” The first is wondering what would have happened had Ime Udoka exercised some self control and not gotten himself fired. Which player would have benefited? Who might have had a completely different season? Would Marcus Smart still be here? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm get into that before getting into an extended debate about what would have happened to Desmond Bane’s career if he was drafted by Boston.

  1. I think you chose some good options. I also think we should think about what would’ve happened if Ainge never left and Stevens was still the coach.

  2. I will be real John you are 100% right about Ime being the one who screwed it up and I have probably been one the main people saying Brad ruined the Celtics by completely FIRING him but… I think I can probably speak for even the Players & fans it doesn't help seeing him being IMMEDIATELY re-hired just shows whatever he did wasnt THAT bad he could have just did the initial 1yr suspension .. Remember he could've had job with NETS only few months into season.. so I think you kinda downplaying THAT aspect of it remember even Marcus Smart had issue with that….just like Stephen A,etc. everyone agreed the Celtics should have just FIRED him straight up instead trying string things along for financial reasons🤦🏿‍♂️ THAT part is Brads fault 🤷🏿‍♂️

  3. John, you asked your what if question about IME but instead of getting into your supposition, you’re bashing the guy and calling him stupid. In my opinion, Celtics would have been back in the finals and probably win it.

  4. This is a lesson to others, keep it in your pants if either you or the other person are married. It's definitely Ime's fault.
