1 year of those guys isn’t worth 6+ years of Jaylen. And he’s still improving.
The coach interviews at quarter starts are terrific. Like who is the person that’s interested in this bullshit Q&A.
Why are Denver and Phoenix even playing tonight when they already won the most important game?

I mean, they signed Kemba (LOL) and Hayward (edit and Horford) to max deals. It’s not Memphis. Athletes seem to like playing for the Pats, Sox and Bruins just fine.
I’d take at least half a dozen GMs over Ainge. And I’d wager the place he takes over this summer won’t make the finals under his watch.
Rolling over assets and taking advantage of Billy King isn’t hard. Going all in is.
You think Jaylen can be the best player on a championship team? Because those guys can (could).
Boston cares about dynasties. They’re not going to make deals that create a one-year title window.
NBA rigging it
List ‘em. Bet it’ll include lots of guys that only know how to tank, or guys in cities that Lebron decided to live in.
Dame sucks
I don’t know. I know in 2018 no one would have predicted how good 2021 Jaylen Brown is. Danny Ainge knew.
Also - everyone - please notice the mission creep here from jwax - we went from “lol Ainge” to “I’m not saying he’s bad” to “only a half dozen people in the world are better than him at his job”.
Jwax has realized Ainge was really good at his job.
Lol Ainge

I’m at the gym, but I’ve been pretty consistent for years saying how overrated Ainge is. He took advantage of Billy King (WOAT trades) and has been very fortunate that stars wanted to play for the most storied franchise in the league. He’s a below average to bad drafter. He’s very good at accumulating assets, but never had the stones to pull the trigger on Butler, PG, Beal, AD, Kawhi, etc.
Nice to see another white guy with no track record at personnel decisions getting a crack at the Boston GM job though.
Drafting Tatum while trading back was masterful. No argument there.

I meant terrible by the way. But good point!

I think Ainge is at worst an average drafter. His best attribute is that he almost never is willing to overpay. He always has a walk-away price.
He also turned down Myles Turner, Doug McDermmot, and a pick for… checks notes… literally what turned out to be a trade exception.

I’m not sure I quite believe the claim that he turned that down.
PHX! I want CP to win it all.
