Yeah, it must be tiring getting a full week off in the mid-late part of the season. Dude better get back to his Mr. 4th Quarter ways soon or he will quickly become trade bait this off-season. Danny isn't going to have a lot of patience for a 5'8" offensive-only player who doesn't efficiently produce.
Really? Danny just passed on Ibaka for Rozier, watched Nurkic/Boogie/Noel/Tucker go for nothing ... and you're complaining about IT? He's the only reason we're relevant. And if you want to play that game -- he's an undersized guard with a chip on his shoulder = untouchable to Ainge
Yeah, I can complain about IT. This was a humongous game and he didn't come to play. I am a huge IT fan and am psyched he made the jump this year to the next level, but he sucked tonight in a game that all we needed to do was hold on to the lead.
Also, it has become clear that Ainge is building for the future, while trying to remain semi-competitive now. If a team with a blue chip young player wants IT before he signs his max contract, I have no doubt Danny would trade him. But that won't happen - nobody wants to believe that a 5'8" player can be a REAL difference maker in this league.
