Yeah everyone knows it’s an interim deal. So he should be motivated to impressInteresting comment by Chad Ford interview on the Checketts podcast today — no one believes Zanik is Ryan’s long-term guy.
Ryan's guy will be Ainge.Yeah everyone knows it’s an interim deal. So he should be motivated to impress
Ainge just had that tunnel vision when hes doing every trade so he lost track of the big picture. All he cares about is winning every trade even though those trade returns make zero sense for his team.
Like trading for Tatum is a good deal in itself, but not very consecutive for his team when he's already got Brown and Hayward on the roster. That's before Hayward was hurt too. If Hayward didn't get hurt, it would be Tatum or Brown spending most of their season on the bench.
Trading Thomas for Irving was also a good deal, but Irving is much less of a playmaker and more of a ballhog. If you are a superstar oriented franchise trying to win now like this year's Nets, it would've made sense. But Celtics wasn't that team. How does watching Kyrie iso on every possession help the development of Tatum and Brown? Then he simply repeated that mistake by going for Kemba instead of a true playmaker willing to share the ball.
What that Celtics team needed also was a big man and Ainge's done little to nothing to address their weakness at the 4/5 spot. Like signing Kanter from Portland, only to give him back one season later......
Seems to me he's just a more aggressive version of DL who would do all he could to win you a trade. But besides that, he's pretty clueless on how to properly build his team towards the next step.
If he's truly an interim that means he doesn't have much power. No way are you letting someone like that have final say.Yeah everyone knows it’s an interim deal. So he should be motivated to impress
Ownership always has final say. All I’m saying is JZ will be motivated to stir up some deals and bring some stuff to the table. Even if it’s minor **** he will be looking to prove he should be the guy. He’s in the dating phase of the relationship… he’s showing up with flowers and sending nice texts and ****.If he's truly an interim that means he doesn't have much power.

Or he’s playing it cool because he doesn’t want to look too desperate.Ownership always has final say. All I’m saying is JZ will be motivated to stir up some deals and bring some stuff to the table.

Maybe he’s flirting with a couple other teams in front of us to stir up some jealousy?Or he’s playing it cool because he doesn’t want to look too desperate.
