Despite the hushed tones "it's much worse and people are gonna be really hurt" messages we heard earlier in the life of this story, things seem to be dying down. All it takes is one big reveal and that will change. And that could happen, undoubtedly. The media will keep sniffing around this for a while.
But from the perspective of someone with very limited interest in what Ime did to whom, and whose focus is almost exclusively on how Ime's departure will affect the Celtics' chances this year and beyond, my view is mostly optimistic.
While I do get the sense that players were annoyed to have learned about the incident along with the general public, the reaction among the players to the Mazzulla hiring seems positive, they seem to have good things to say about him and he seems to have the respect of those who have dealt with him. There's also enough time between now and when the season starts for Brad and the owners to mend fences, to the extent necessary, with the core players. Given what we have seen from Brad and Wyc, whatever needs strengthening seemingly will happen in due course.
It's very had to know whether Udoka's coaching (from and Xs and Os perspective and from a leadership perspective) will be missed and we will probably not have much of an insight into that for a while. I don't at all buy the Gasper/CHB mantra that Brad or a more experienced hand needed to take the reigns, and lean to thinking that a young, energetic, relatable coach is the indeed right choice for this moment.
So...color me cautiously optimistic that ime"s Boner will affect him and his future way more than it impacts the Celtics, and that Williams' absence and the hit to the depth caused by Gallinari's injury will matter more than the change from Udoka to Mazzulla and whatever hangover results from Ime's affair and departure.
