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)
They could have had cousins, Danny didn't do a thing. Now he joined Anthony Davis in NO to form the best front court we've seen since I don't know...maybe the best front court in history. Now there's another team to potentially compete with us for free agent interest, since anybody with a brain knows that team is a couple of parts away from a contender.
They could have had ibaka for nothing - he would have made us significantly better and improved our odds of beating a beaten and bruised Cavs team. Instead he went to Toronto, so now we probably won't even see the Cavs because the raptors will murder us. Why doesn't we get him? Doesn't want to include rozier. Those critical 9 minutes a game, you know.
We could have had Butler but Ainge refused to include the awe inspiring role player that is Joe Crowder. Now if we do play Cleveland again, we can watch while Lebron single handedly dismantles us while Crowder looks around with a bewildered look on his face not knowing what to do, because everybody in the world know that for Lebron, Crowder is just an annoyong little fly waiting to get swatted.
We likely could have had Carmelo for next to nothing, but Danny apparently want interested. Because we needed to hold off on these moves so we could maintain cap flexibility. Why? Because Danny decided it was genius to commit $26m+ to a 30 year old Al Horford who continues to dissapoint on a daily basis like everybody with half a brain knew he would after his complete disappearance all of last year - especially the playoffs. Now we're stuck with him for 3 more years.
If we doesn't have Horford on that ludicrous deal we could easily trade for anybody we wanted and still have max space to go after any free a agent we want.
But Danny doesn't want to give up anything. He gets one or two bargain deals, and now he won't do anything at all unless it involves completely ripping off another team and getting gold in return for paper.
Its total BS.
