[Dalzell] Anfernee Simons told @JackSimoneNBA that Joe Mazzulla doesn’t want him to call him “coach.” The two have spent a lot of time together this summer. “I can’t even explain the relationship — it’s like almost as a mentor.”

  1. Doesn’t want him to call him coach because they’re still trying to trade him 🤣

  2. Joe’s greatest achievement will be getting this dude to play defense. Then President Stevens deals him 😂

  4. I’m like 80% convinced Joe mazzulla is master shredder from the ninja turtles

  5. Energy gonna shift with some of you when’s putting up numbers and playing hard on both ends

  8. First step in being a good defender, is believing you can be a good defender. I like what I’ve heard from Simons so far

  9. Keeping him into this season has literally zero downside. I don’t understand how this fanbase has lapped up speculation that the Celtics were trying to dump him as fact.

    If he’s good and develops his defense, Celtics find an elite role player for the next iteration of this team and extend him for whatever his value is or deal him for a player like that at the deadline.

    If he’s shows no sign of growth he still could be worth re-signing for a more modest deal. Or they could salary dump him for nothing and get under the first apron.

    If he’s flat out bad you just let his salary expire.

    He’s a lottery ticket and everyone is acting like Brad is trying to tear it up before knowing what he has.
