The Boston Celtics pulled the trigger on a major overhaul of the organization beginning at the start of their 2020-21 NBA offseason, starting with the retirement of longtime President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge and the elevation of former head coach Brad Stevens to succeed him as team president.
Soon after, Stevens hired former Brooklyn Nets assistant coach Ime Udoka to fill his former role as head coach, but there have been persistent rumors that Stevens isn’t done tinkering with the front office structure, perhaps planning on expanding Boston’s comparatively small front office. Now, Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer reports there are two potential candidates to serve under Stevens as the Celtics’ general manager, one internal and one external.
“Amid ongoing questions about the future structure of Boston’s basketball operations, Fields very much remains a top choice of Stevens and Celtics ownership to join Boston as the team’s general manager,” related Fischer.
