I cant even begin to describe how disappointed.
Danny has always insisted that hes spent all these years collectibg assets in the hope a chance comes up to make a deal for a big name star.
He had for big name stars made available this deadline along with multiple other quality players and he s did nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Im sick to death of draft picks. Im tired of hearing the [dang] words. I dont care about then over bit. I'm not interested in waiting for 3 or 4 years for some teenage hot shot to develop into a useful player, while our current stars age and we continue to pile up early playoff exits.
Ainge is great at collecting assets, he's proven that. He's clearly completely incapable of doing anything with them once he has them. Time for him to move aside and let somebody who has some balls do his job for him.
Yeah, we need someone with the balls to, say, trade the 5th pick for an aging Ray Allen in the hopes that it makes KG want to come here
It's one thing to be mad at Danny when a deal actually happened that he could have been a part of (like the Boogie deal), but it's another to start calling for his job when we don't even know if the other team was actually considering trading their star. For all we know Bird had no intent to make a trade, but everyone's first reaction is just to say Danny was unreasonable and call for his job (despite him putting us in a position that any other fan base, short of the Cavs and Warriors, would kill to be in).
Did you even consider the possibility that maybe Bird was the unreasonable one overvaluing his asset? (Not saying it was, because we don't know, just trying to point out the WE DON'T KNOW part)
