I dont really fault Ainge for not trading Pierce/Garnett...lets not beat around the bush, trading Pierce for Humphries,Brooks and a late 20's pick isnt exactly a "must do!!" trade that would improve us now, Or in the future
if Ainge had traded a celtics legend for such trash, he would be torn apart on this board
and by all accounts, Ainge tried to make this garnett trade happen, but the clippers from all accounts backed down.
