Welcome Our Newest Assistant Coach... Tyronn Lue?

WEEI reports: The Celtics hired NBA former point guard Tyronn Lue as their Director of Basketball Development on Friday. He will assist the coaching staff and observe practices. He made his debut on Friday in Waltham as the Celtics prepare for their season opener on Tuesday in Cleveland. Lue played 11 seasons with seven different teams, including last year with Orlando. He won NBA titles in 2000 and ‘01 with the Lakers. I'd be very surprised if Lue isn't practicing with the team.  My guess is that this move is to orient him with the team's plays and to allow him to develop chemistry with the players, in case we need a point guard later in the season.
