Ime Udoka on TRADE DEADLINE | Celtics Practice Interview 1-18

BRIGHTON, MA -- Celtics Head Coach Ime Udoka spoke to the media after the Celtics' practice on Tuesday. Boston is coming of 104-92 comeback vs the Pelicans and will host the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday at 7:30pm ET. QUOTES FROM UDOKA BELOW: Ime Udoka on Trade Deadline: "I'm sure he's having much more than we're even talking about, but we are talking daily ... his phone's ringing off the hook and vice-versa ... some things aren't realistic, but anything that'll possibly have an impact we'll talk about." Ime said Brad Stevens took probably 10 phone calls after the game yesterday..."I've been around a lot of organizations as a player or coach ... that's a benefit for sure on my end, but Brad has that as well ... we all know what we need and know the lay of the land and personnel pretty well." On Aaron Nesmith: "The work never stops with those guys ... going about their business very professionally ... I don't love to overrun the veterans and not play the young guys, because that's a huge part of their development. It's who's performing best at the time." On Richardson: "This is the first time he's come off the bench only ... not being the fourth or fifth option, we're asking him to do more. He's been a really steadying factor for us ... his comfort level is different ... being able to impact the game in more ways." ----------------------------------------- - #celtics #NBA #CelticsCLNS The CLNS Media Network is the leading provider for video/audio content.
