I agree with this in part, but it’s definitely being overstated - ESPECIALLY the KG stuff, which did not in any way fall out of the sky.
Ainge is deeply strategic, including long term strategic plans. This is a good read...
I don’t even know if I believe they almost got a guy. That strikes me as sending a signal, to either other GMs or season ticket holders, whether or not it’s true.
There was at least one tell Ainge wasn’t being honest in his presser: he mentioned that Garnett fell into his lap when he didn’t get Durant. In a previous history of that championship team, Ainge himself outlined the four year plan that he had in place to get KG.
Before the trade deadline he...
Really? I think it’s almost a definite. He was expected to come in and play the 4 for a supersized lineup with Lauri and Kessler. Now that we know he can only play an undersized five, I’m sure he’s absolutely on the outs as soon as Ainge finds value. Bet he’d jump on a first if offered.
Correct. His salary falls a bunch this offseason. I bet they have a team lined up from the trade deadline and this is one of the first moves of the offseason that we see. Ya’ll can mock me when I’m wrong.
