He seems like he's still connected to the Celtics, which if you don't know, is not the Utah Jazz.
 
At this juncture, no... As I pointed out in the Ainge curse thread, we were playing really good basketball before he arrived. 2 weeks after his arrival the team started it's down fall. I no longer think it's coincidence. He didn't do anything in Boston and the moment he leaves the team makes the Finals.

He has a lot of work to do to earn my support. I know my support means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things but as a fan I am very put off by him so far.
 
I voted yes mostly because I think he did a lot of good things while he was GM of the Celtics and I want to see what he can do with the Jazz. Having said that, I can't deny that it was really strange for him to be wearing Celtics gear at the game tonight.

Notice he was at their game tonight and they sucked… he’s cursed.

If Ryan Smith is worried about what Danny Ainge is wearing at an NBA finals game of a team that he played for and then built, he's focused on the wrong things.

I don’t think it’s Ryan. I think it’s the guys who helped build this current team and have been grounded to Utah, then get a new owner and, oh, here comes Danny Ainge after the Hayward fiasco and he’s gonna be running the ship from the golf course.

Well it's a new era of Jazz basketball.
 
It would have been ten times more weird for Ainge to have gone to the game in a Jazz jersey. He is obviously a fan a former player and coach for the Celtics organization and it is sheer pettiness at this juncture and game 6 of the finals for anyone to begrudge him that celebration due to his current Jazz affiliation. He has done absolutely nothing to betray his current obligations IMO.
 
Can anyone think of a precent for this? When was the last time an active president of a team was seen wearing gear from another team?

If you’re not over your ex you’re not ready for a new relationship.

Or he hired the wrong guy. If I were Smith it would absolutely bother me to have my main guy wearing competitor gear. Would you care if Donavon went to an NBA game and wore the gear of another team? Or pick a player who was came to Utah from another team - is it OK for them to wear the great of their old team while playing for the Jazz?

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?
