Dame sucks

I don’t know. I know in 2018 no one would have predicted how good 2021 Jaylen Brown is. Danny Ainge knew.

Cornboy · June 4, 2021, 2:29am

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.

Tilted · June 4, 2021, 2:40am

I meant terrible by the way. But good point!

NotBruceZ · June 4, 2021, 2:41am

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.

Tilted · June 4, 2021, 2:44am

He also turned down Myles Turner, Doug McDermmot, and a pick for… checks notes… literally what turned out to be a trade exception.

NotBruceZ · June 4, 2021, 2:48am

I’m not sure I quite believe the claim that he turned that down.

Tilted · June 4, 2021, 2:52am

PHX! I want CP to win it all.

Tilted · June 4, 2021, 3:04am

Don’t worry, I put my money where my mouth was.

Aofrantic · June 4, 2021, 3:12am

Had more on Portland than phx tonight, plus Booker and Dame both o28.5

Tilted · June 4, 2021, 3:13am

Good news is Booker is going to cover both his and Dames over in the first quarter.

Chuckleslovakian · June 4, 2021, 3:16am

I was about to turn this game on…well maybe not…

Devil · June 4, 2021, 3:19am

So far there’s a good correlation between me not watching and PHX crushing so I’ll just check in after.

Tilted · June 4, 2021, 3:21am

Adam Silver is about to press the big red “HELP”. button when the Lakers, Knicks, and Clippers are all out in the first round.

tabbaker · June 4, 2021, 3:22am

This season doesn’t count with the short off season and short real season

The Knicks and clippers suck to watch and this lakers team is brutal.

Brooklyn/Milwaukee might be the best series we’ve had in years.

jwax13 · June 4, 2021, 3:48am

Atlanta - Milwaukee. Utah - Phx conference finals. As if the ratings weren’t bad enough.
