My gift to Danny Ainge for screwing us...
A TP for you, sir. I laughed.
As anticipated, this is a tough night for those who would defend Ainge at any cost.
Not really, seeing as Ainge has still has
1. Engineered a champion
2. Pulled off one of the greatest trades in NBA history to disband said champion
3. Rebuilt a 50-win team after bottoming out for just one year
4. Held on to #1 odds in the impending lottery
You know what? After looking at that resume, I see why you guys are so disgruntled. I think we should hire a real winner like Billy King, Phil Jackson, Rob Henigan, Ryan McDonough, etc. You know, all of those guys that are outperforming Ainge.
And I'm glad you'll be a living witness to the fact that his perturbed decisions has turned those "positive" things on their heads.
Btw he didn't "pull off" one of the greatest trades in NBA history.
It's like that quote about religion by Mark Twain, "Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.”
Bring it back to basketball and that quote fit perfectly. Any dumb GM would look golden dealing with the Nets.
Danny got lucky. Most of his "great deals" were, for the most part, luck. Nothing else.
Makes sense. Unlike other GM's, Danny just gets lucky constantly. Acquisitions of Ray Allen, KG, Rondo, Jae Crowder, and Isaiah Thomas were all luck. His smaller moves, like acquiring the pick used to acquire IT in a salary dump was pure luck.
Remove 2008 and you'd see everything else clearly. Since then his best move was acquiring Brad Stevens. That was brilliant.
Other than that, I can't give him any credit. Crowder turned out great. Danny was going to trade him. He was just collecting pieces. I'd say the same for Isaiah. Even though he has loved Isaiah from the start, he didn't pick Isaiah when he had the chance. Isaiah was on the bench in Boston when he got here, he wasn't a starter. All of that is saying the same thing...collecting pieces.
All of that is futile when you are too dumb to capitalize when opportunity for big moves present themselves. You can cry all you want about great small moves he's made, he is yet to turn any of it into a big move. Small moves don't win you championships, big moves does. Bunch of role players and inconsistent bench players don't win you championships but trading for legit and proven players.
Danny sucks. Soon enough that veil will be removed from all of your faces.
You have convinced me. You're extremely persuasive.
Psst...My goal isn't to persuade you or anybody because quite frankly I don't have the patience for it and neither am I your typical politically correct dot your I's and T's mother****a. What I do is post my comments and anyone with any reasoning skills would be able to figure out what I'm saying without having to make me prove something or convince them. Facts speaks for themselves. One fact that matters in the conversation of basketball is championships and Danny, since being the GM of this franchise, has only won one and that was 9 years ago. All else is nothing but histrionic nonsense. But if we are break it down, the reason he's only won one and still is considered one of the top GM's in the league is what I'm concerned about.
He is not and shouldn't be considered one. Period.
okay, i'll bite. and how many of the other 29 or so GMs have won more championships in that period of time? 5 of them? 10? enough so that ainge obviously is out shone by many of his peers and thereby demonstrating that ainge is merely pedestrian or poor as a GM? if not, then we have to give credit where it is due.
and by the way, i found your posts to be self-contradictory on the "ainge is lucky"...except for stevens, IT, crowder, and of course the dismissal of his biggest successes, ones to which very few other GMs can lay claim.
