![]() ![]() We traded our first this year and potentially a lottery pick swap in a future Tatum less Cetlics season mortgaging the future for someone that comes off the bench and honestly doesn't do anything that Marcus Smart doesn't already do for the team. But the reason Ainge didn't trade picks was because in Boston unless you're already a contender you're likely only going to get an allstar by trading picks for one or drafting one. Like getting White is nice, getting Horford is nice. The players that we now boast as the best starting lineup are all guys Ainge drafted high in the lottery or drafted himself outside of a what 35 year old Horford?Īre they playing well now because of anything really Stevens or Ime has done or are they just bouncing back and reaching the same level they would with any NBA coach? I suppose, but should we really applaud a GM for losing trades? Even the Ime move is looking like genius now that the guys are buying in.Ī couple of months ago it seemed like we were resigned to NBA purgatory. Brad clearly has the guys he wants, and the guys he didn't want, and the roster has been pretty much scrubbed of the latter in less than a year. ![]() As a result he was never able to fully commit to the vision. ![]() ParticleMan wrote:I'd say Ainge had the same basic vision as Brad but Ainge was never willing to "lose" a trade to get the guy he wanted. ![]()
