On June 4, the NBA Finals will start in two days. According to Shams and other reports, the Jazz hired Angie's son Austin Angie as president of basketball operations and gathered in Utah with his father and Jazz CEO Danny Angie. Austin Angie has worked for the Celtics in the past.

Austin Angie is the son of Danny Angie, a famous NBA star and general manager. Austin Angie has been working in the Celtics management. Austin Angie has been working in the Boston Celtics management for the past 14 years, and has been assistant general manager for the last six years. The Jazz hired him as president of basketball operations and were given the opportunity to reunite with their father, according to Shams.

For Austin Angie's departure, Celtics reporter Keith Smith tweeted: "I'm glad that Angie has the opportunity to take control of a team, and I'm curious about whose final decision the Jazz is now. This is too difficult for the Celtics, because Angie is an important part of the team, and he helps the team continuously select rotation players in the back draft and bring European players into rotation."

Another Celtics reporter Noa Dalzell also looked down on the Celtics' prospects: "Austin Angie's departure will leave a huge gap in the decision-making circle of the Celtics management, especially with only a few weeks left in the draft. According to sources, Austin Angie will become the Jazz's first decision-maker." At the same time, Celtics President Stevens talked about the topic in an interview: "I'm glad that Austin Angie will embark on a new journey with the Jazz. He is fully prepared for the next step, and I know he is full of leadership for a team. He is very smart, and he has achieved success as a player, coach, and executives at all levels. In addition, as a person who thinks about team strategies, he will exhaust all the methods and he is very hardworking. We will miss him, but we are also extremely happy for Austin Angie and his family. "

In the 2024-25 season, the Celtics failed to achieve their goal as the defending champion. They were eliminated 4-2 by the Knicks in the semi-finals, and now they are poached by important personnel, which is a huge loss for them.
