So well said infection. Ainge got lucky in multiple ways in Boston. Hope it works again but I would rather have a legit plan.

Yes years of conditioning lol
Ainge justified waiting to tank because they "almost" had someone where it would have been better to have those vets than not.? If you justify keeping vets because you want them around a star you traded for, it would logically follow that a team in absence of those vets is not a good situation for an incoming star.
I don't think this necessarily means we are not looking for a star trade anymore, it's clear that Ainge wants that (or wants to pretend he's close), but I don't think we will make any marginal moves. That's probably why we weren't in on DJ. We will keep churning/tanking until we find that trade....not sure that's ever going to become available. I actually think that our chances of getting a star, even with Lauri on the team, will come from the draft.

Thanks for posting this. The rookies are certainly saying the right things. Let’s hope they’ll also act on it. Kind of cute that Taylor lives in Utah with his mom.Lots of exit interviews today:

"Up and down season" was the theme for everyone. Each player was a total pro about talking about the half tank season. Lauri seemed the most annoyed by the question, but that's because he's pressed on it the most.
Sexton exudes energy. I wish someone asked him a question about how he sees his role and his place on the team going forward. I think the quick hook on him was one of the more odd stories about this season.
THT was the only player who showed some salt, but even then he was professional and I think his gripe was actually valid. He did get the short end of the stick. I think he lied about not knowing when he was going to play in the second half the season though.

Seems like I'm going to need to listen to the Lauri one. Thanks for posting all of these.
Ok, just listened to the Lauri interview, and he didn't really give much away/ said all the things you would expect.
The only thing I took away from it is that Ryan Smith bought a hockey team to keep him happy, now that's commitment.
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:

Eight years ago today, the Celtics landed Kevin Garnett and formed Boston's Big 3. Here's how it happened.

I don’t see any way that he’s a wing. Doesn’t have wing skills. Hes a stretch smallish big
