The Boston Celtics came into their 2021 NBA offseason with a somewhat untested front office after moving on from longtime President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge in favor of front office novice Brad Stevens. Key positions continued to be occupied by veteran executives like Mike Zarren and Austin Ainge, but comparative newcomers like Allison Feaster also had significant roles.
That didn’t stop the team from having a highly-regarded reshuffling of the roster, with Stevens and company swiftly and decisively reshaping the team into a much more flexible and deep roster. This kind of strong outcome is likely a significant part of why at least two of those names are frequent candidates in articles about who the next wave of NBA general managers might be.
One such piece, by Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, outlines how that duo of Zarren and Feaster are widely seen as potential candidates from the Celtics’ executive structure to become GMs, whether in another organization or with Boston under Stevens.
No team in NBA history has produced more. How many can you name? https://t.co/CZGJxuWKGQ
