Podcast appearances and mentions of Danny Ainge

0:00 ... Bruce welcomes the audience to 48 Minutes and introduces Mike Isenberg, and five time author and 11 time Emmy Award winning producer whose new collaboration with Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell is their second book project together. 1:03 ... Mike briefly explains the "double track" method that the Celtics used to win the 2024 NBA Championship. 1:57 ... Some felt that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown weren't a championship combo but the Celtics management felt otherwise and showed patience with the duo. 3:02 ... With Tatum and Brown just hitting their prime, the only way they'd be split up now has nothing to do with their performance on the court. 4:07 ... How Tatum's snubs regarding the NBA Finals MVP voting and 2024 Olympics benching drove him to even greater levels of achievement this season. 5:22 ... Tatum has finally achieved a level of "Basketball IQ" that has placed him in rare company. 6:53 ... Tatum leads the Celtics in a way this is somewhat like Nikola Jokic in Denver and he has placed individual accolades well behind his desire to get a ring. 8:10 ... Patience and aggressiveness are not easy to combine in one person's emotional makeup.  But Celtics president Brad Stevens has mastered that balance. 10:09 ... Bruce tells the story of how the 48 Minutes podcast's interview with Giannis Antetokounmpo set the stage for Stevens to acquire Jrue Holiday.  Mike describes how Brad keeps a "wish list" of players he covets and also how Joe Mazzulla told Holiday that they were destined to work together months before the trade was even considered. 13:15 ... It wasn't easy for Stevens to trade Robert Williams III but having already acquired Kristaps Porzingis made it easier to Stevens to part with the "Time Lord." 14:28 ... The health of Porzingis is the key for Boston in the postseason.  Mazzulla risked losing some games along the way in order to manage the workload of key players like KP and veteran Al Horford while giving reserve players like Sam Hauser meaningful minutes. 17:51 ... Boston is not concerned about having home court advantage in the playoffs, so they didn't have to go all out to win every game during the regular season.  Stevens and Mazzulla had a plan for what they're doing and never wavered or listened to the noise from outside. 19:54 ... Mike's co-author Cedric Maxwell played for 6 different NBA coaches with various different styles, so what is his take on Mazzulla? 21:29 ... Mazzulla's no nonsense style has been effective with the players because of his self-awareness and willingness to be his authentic self. 23:32 ... Mazzulla effectively navigated the move from assistant coach to head coach OF THE SAME TEAM, which isn't easy to do when you go from being the players' "friend" to their boss. 25:09 ... Mike explains the relationship between Stevens and Mazzulla.  As a former coach, Stevens could have been heavy handed in his approach to a young coach like Joe, but he avoided doing that. 26:53 ... Stevens' moves were reminiscent of previous moves by legendary Celtics executives like Red Auerbach and Danny Ainge.  Mike points out how many of the team's big moves usually led to instant success and gives three great examples. 30:47 ... Ainge is currently angling to get Cooper Flagg in the 2025 Draft for the Utah Jazz. 31:54 ... Bruce resets the show and asks Mike about the future of the team with new ownership.  Mike explains how some of their recent big money signings could have negative repercussions down the road, especially if the Celtics don't repeat in 2025. 34:15 ... Bruce and Mike discuss whether guys like Holiday, Porzingis, and Horford would be willing to sign "team favorable" deals to keep winning championships. 36:57 ... Mike likes the OKC Thunder to make the NBA Finals from the west and the Celtics to come out of the east. 38:01 ... Bruce compares the OKC defense to a hockey power play with 6 players against 5.  Mike explains how the Thunder just come at you in waves. 39:27 ... The guys discuss how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a mini version of Nikola Jokic and how Tatum is also in that category when it comes to the game "slowing down" for him. 40:43 ... Bruce and Mike praise Derrick White for his clutch play when the team needs a bucket. 41:52 ... Mike explains how to find the book "Banner Year" and the "big picture" philosophy that makes the organization tick. 43:59 ... Bruce wraps it up and teases the next episode with TNT's Jared Greenberg and the 48 Minutes playoff preview next week. TRT 44:32

Doug Parker is a retired attorney who worked for the legendary Len Garment in a white-shoe NYC law firm. After his narrow loss to JFK in 1960, the firm gained a new partner, Richard Nixon. When Nixon regained the White House in 1968, he brought along some of his former associates, including Doug. When the Watergate scandal broke, Parker represented President Nixon in front of the "steely-eyed Judge Sirica" during one of the most tumultuous political moments in American history (until now). We also talked about one of his most important, and fun, cases, representing the Toronto Blue Jays as one of their players tried to get out of his contract, and major league baseball, to go the NBA and play for Red Auerbach as he built the Boston Celtics into world champions. That erstwhile infielder was named Danny Ainge. A lifelong Cubs fan, Doug is also one of the few people to span both World Series appearances, between 1948 and 2016. He also wrote the only authorized biography of famed humorist Ogden Nash: 'The only way to keep your marriage brimming / with love in the loving cup / whenever you're wrong admit it / whenever you're right, shut up.' Or 'Oh what a tangled web parents do weave / whenever they think their kids are naive. We talked about the parlous state of American politics, the decades of "wait'll next year!" that Cubs and Buffalo Bills fans have endured, and why Ojai is a special place. We did not talk about walleye rigs, the Humboldt current or Japanese confections.

NBA insider Keith Smith Sports Roulette Final thoughts

Spotrac & Front Office Show NBA contributor Keith Smith

LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry are out of the playoffs for the before the 2nd round for the first time since 2005, 18 years ago.  It is change of the era in the NBA with Anthony Edwards, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Shai leading the way.  Should the Utah Jazz have pushed with Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert to see if they could have taken advantage of the changing of the guard? David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider looks at the reality on where the Jazz stood 22 months ago and wonders if they could have really broken through. Last Friday on Locked On Jazz Locke revealed his draft chart.  Today we look at the history of Danny Ainge, Dennis Lindsay and Sam Presti and how they have drafted in their careers. 0:00:  Introduction3:00:  The end of an era6:00:  Should the Utah Jazz have pushed through14:00:  Danny AInge draft history19:00:  Dennis Lindsey draft history23:00:  Sam Presti draft history27:00:  NBA Notes   Locked On Jazz Podcast

The Phoenix Suns might be the death of the super team as they flame out in the first round of the NBA playoffs and now take all the burden of being a team over the 2nd apron.   David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider takes a look at this and thinks it could be a bad trend for the Utah Jazz.When the Jazz traded Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell the feeling was the Rudy Gobert trade was the real fleecing by Danny Ainge and the Utah Jazz.  However, as time plays out it is looking more and more like the Anthony Edwards lead Minnesota Timberwolves won' be yielding great picks but the Cleveland Cavaliers might be on the verge of a big loss and the Donovan Mitchell trade may be the one that continues to yield the Jazz the great dividends.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Leif Thulin breaks down the games of Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard, and Stephon Castle. Leif provides the pros and cons for the Jazz to select in the NBA Draft between that crop of guards. Then, he gives his takeaways from the NBA Playoffs Game 1's and how it is relevant to the Utah Jazz in how they can shape their team by learning from other teams. Leif gives a pitch that the Jazz must adopt a mindset of building a team with a lack redundancy per the ideas of Calvin Booth, the GM of the Nuggets. Lastly, Leif explains that the Orlando Magic may be a team for the Jazz to emulate to turn them from a lottery team into a Playoff team.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monopoly GO!
