So this could mean one of two things to me. Either, Riley had no real interest in dealing with Ainge and asked for the Nets pick purposely to end the conversation...or GMs and front offices around the league don't value that Nets pick quite as highly as us fans do.
Because to ask for that Nets pick in exchange for a guy who is super immature and unpredictable both on and off the court and who, despite all of his blocked shots, the numbers show his team is actually WORSE defensively when he's on the floor...sounds insane.
