Before the “free agency” next August, the end of the playoffs and the Draft will animate the beginning of summer, but also the usual game of musical chairs on the benches. The Celtics were the first to initiate the movement by appointing Brad Stevens as president, and his first task will be to find his own successor.
In Washington, the situation is a little different since Scott Brooks is at the end of his contract, and it is not yet known whether he will be extended or not. During the first part of the season, we talked about his dismissal, but after the beautiful second part of the season of his players and these playoffs snatched after a barrage, he is in a strong position. Especially since he has the support of Russell Westbrook, who still has two years of contract.
“I don’t see why Scott should go anywhere else. It’s not just because we’re close, but because he did a crazy job with our team. Since I got here, and just being on the team, I realized how big his impact was on the franchise. He’s still the same Coach Brooks, and he brings intensity, and the same effort as when he played, but now he’s a coach. It is something that cannot be learned. If it was up to me, I don’t think he should go. “
But it’s not Russell Westbrook who decides, and the leaders did not let anything transpire. As for the person concerned, he declares his love for this franchise, or rather to its owner, and he explains that on a personal level there was a click. It was a year ago when the NBA came to a standstill due to the pandemic.
“I love being here. I got to know owner Ted Leonsis, his family and the group of shareholders and what I saw the first four years, or rather three and a half years, was truly amazing. I don’t know what the exact date was, March 10th [de l’année dernière], just after the Knicks game, when the Covid-19 suspended play, that’s when I saw what a great owner was ”, declared Scott Brooks. “And I saw it with my own eyes, he made all the decisions based on our team, our employees, our community, and that’s what a good franchise can be. It’s about nothing but people and what I saw I wouldn’t want to change. I like this place. I love the city. My family loves him too. But like I said, it was for later, and the most important until then was the season. “
