Was this quid pro quo or a criminal activity or assault??
If neither, two things….
1. One, Udoka was involved with someone’s wife or girlfriend or daughter that has alot of power, either inside the Celtics or outside them, to force them to make this move.
2. The consenting woman is either someone’s said wife or she does not look like Udoka and that’s a problem probably still in Boston.
Bcuz if it’s strictly two consenting adults, why hasn’t her identity been revealed and confirmed and why hasn’t she been disciplined too? Matt Barnes and others, including SAS, have said this goes on all the time.
As Mickey Pearson’s Bride said in “The Gentlemen”, “there is f—kery afoot.”

SAS lead said we don’t know what’s going here..So what is he ranting about??? Do we really believe if they fire him they wouldn’t owe us/media an explanation.

we clearly just don’t know enough, making a circus out of it until we know more is equally as troubling as the Celtics publicizing the relationship.

Malika took over for Nichols. She also dated a white man David McMenamin and she is married. Her parents are friends with ESPN producers. That’s why both her and sister are working way above their pay grade. They aren’t smart. And it hurts Stephens head. Also, shes got some agenda for the Celtic’s organization. What she said was “gross misguided accusations of women’s names”…You mean your name or your sister’s name or a friend of yours? That’s what you mean. Hiding behind your creepy as face and the type of relationship you or your sister or a friend has had.
Stupidity is transparent. True. Boston sports are one of the most racist sports institutions in the world. This was a race sacrifice by the white NBA based in a consensual relationship and That’s it.
The NBA is sexually lose and that needs to stop. Matt Barnes just spoke on it. Yet the root cause, the NBA, is not having to do anything at all. And that’s the problem. This solves absolutely nothing. It makes the NBA worse, by letting it continue, and it makes Journalism far worse by allowing Andrews to emotionally blackmail and gaslight away from the facts of ALL people involved and this is what happens when you give country-wide-control over to a corporate entity that works WITH the league, away from Journalism, w/ their payroll. It’s pathetic. Andrews literally, the worst Journalism in the history of mankind and the league should be combed over and the people involved. Though since that’s never going to happen, why are we talking about it? 1/30th of a story regarding the teams is just that. How is her taking over any better than Nichols? it’s not. it is just as bad if not worse

Bottom line he shouldn’t be fired if she’s not. They’re 2 grown adults. And why are they just firing shots at the coach and not her??????

If that is a policy then they both should have been aware. I can’t believe I agree with S.A.S, if you are not going to discipline both parties NO-ONE should be suspended. Women are always want equal treatment then she should have been suspended too.
