Should Ainge be part of the Jazz?

[Ron Mexico]

Ainge was a player there and won championships with them, he also spent a ton of time there as an executive. Would you be upset if Wade was rocking a Heat shirt at a game?

Wade is a minority owner. Its kind of a big difference. But, I dont think any of them should. You dont need to wear a Jersey to go to a game. You can go in your normal clothes. Personally it doesnt really bother me, I dont really give a **** about this stuff. But it is unprofessional. I worked at companies for a long time that I really like and had a long relationship in various forms. But I would never wear my uniform from them when hired at a different company. But this whole thing is a bit overblown, mostly because Utah fans are big time feeling like they are underdogs and disrespected. Probably over half the fan base think the NBA refs are against the Jazz.

Drama queen much?

Who gives a rats *** Jazzfanz you idiots do realize he’s a long time celtic and champ with the C’s. Yes he’s employed by the jazz, but he’ll always be a Celtic. It’s not like the Celtics were playing the jazz.

Played 8 years for Boston. Won 2 rings there.
19 years as an executive for Boston.

Not going to judge him too harshly. He has every reason to have lifelong Celtic Pride.

If Dwayne Wade wore a Heat jersey at a Heat game, I would have zero issue with it.

It's part of their history as players. We are out of the playoffs. Its not a big deal.

Then why not just stay there? I’m fine with it but it’s a bad look. Go to the game but maybe not full fan boy colors and maybe not be on the court. I’d be annoyed if I was the Celtics… like wtf you doing here homey we took away your office keys.

I mean if I was amicably divorced and remarried I might spend time with my ex-wife cuz we were together a while and have kids together... but if I was in her house wearing my old his and hers robes... then I might get some weird looks from my current wife.

This entire Celtics team was drafted by Aingle. Tatum, Brown, Smart, Robert Williams, Grant Williams, Pritchard... Even in the old days Ainge got a gem in Rondo who was 21st pick in a very weak 2006 draft to supplement the big three. He was also known to be one of the only guys who wanted to move up in the draft to get Kobe before the Lakers took him.

The one thing that the Jazz desperately need is to draft better and Ainge is certainly one of the best in that business

It's not really a big deal given his history with Celtics and that team. But it's not like he is a teenager who has to go to the game in a jersey. At his age and position he has with a Jazz now it's not the best look. But he's not been famous for being a very sensitive person anyway.
As to the question in the poll I find it hard to answer cause what bothers me is how seriously is he treating the job with the Jazz. If he is really commited I believe that he could do a lot right things for us but if this is just a gig to make him feel still active at his old days but it doesn't really care that much than I would rather let someone else do the job.

Like he should just be a paid advisor... or sit on the board of directors or some ****. I agree with this.

There are so many smart dudes that would kill for the opportunity to absolutely grind and we got a part timer.

Just because you "grind" or try hard doesn't mean it makes you better.

We had a bunch of FO guys who did the "grind" to get us Tony Bradley, Doke, do the Conley trade, sign Favors to that stupid deal, etc.

I wouldn't call DL a grinder, though. He was pretty much a system guy.

Grinders are the dudes out finding the gems or using every second round pick they can... DL was more a culture type dude. I remember him selling seconds or using them on guys that really had no shot. DL was a stick with the guys we got type.

I saw in another twitter post that was mocking the DA in Boston thing saying "nah DA is just out there to catch some open golf at Brookline". It was some miller family sports employee. So 1 week before the draft, FA, trade season, also while we are in the midst of finding a new head coach... our head honcho is taking in some golf and hanging out with his old co-workers... didn't have energy for the day to day but he will crush it for us while he's on his summer vacation.
