Even though the Boston Celtics suspended head coach Ime Udoka just months after he guided the club to within two games of an NBA title, the Brooklyn Nets are reportedly strongly considering hiring Udoka with no objections whatever from Boston. What’s really going on here?
Are the Nets so desperate to make their team work that they care even less than they have about the optics of their actions? Could Brooklyn be hoping the cloud of scandal hanging over Udoka would be easier to deal with than the one created by Kyrie Irving’s ongoing issues with antisemitic media and his refusal to apologize for it?
To get to the bottom of things, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with the Nation’s Dave Zirin to talk about what the Udoka hire can tells about the Nets, the Celtics, and issues much bigger than basketball.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
