While some Celtics fans might not think the head-coaching job is a desirable one, those inside the NBA seem to believe otherwise.
Speaking on ESPN Wednesday, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski explained how the job is viewed and also how he believes it will have a number of candidates, including some employed by other teams.
"This is going to be a coveted job," Wojnarowski said. "It's the Boston Celtics. You have an infrastructure of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, good players. Watch as these playoffs go on, there could be more candidates available to Boston than who are available now. We know things change. … So, I think the candidate pool may increase.
" … Boston's going have an opportunity to really take a look at the landscape. And Brad Stevens, who's certainly well-versed within this coaching profession, is going to have the ability to have a great deal of say in who his successor is going to be. But this I think is a job that any number of candidates, including those who may be employed elsewhere, would love to get involved in."
Here are some of the favorites, according to one oddsmaker.
