Danny deserves tremendous credit for that trade. He MUST have known how unpopular it would be, not sure he gets a lifetime Auerbach pass, but it's close.
No way in hell he could have predicted three straight years of Top 3 picks, but he probably saw the wheels falling off Deron, and KG.
I don't think we can credit him too greatly for IT - he was doubtless brought in as a placeholder.. And that stuff he wrote in the tribune is nice but I bet that is Stevens boilerplate pep.
However I think Crowder is his best work: he saw that dudes hustle for sure.
We talk a lot about this team's underperforming defense, despite Danny seemingly looking to create a defense first juggernaut, but that probably comes down to bad rebounding - probably Danny's main concern at the moment.
