Danny Ainge Scouted Giannis. Came back and wanted Olynyk more. [WOJ]

[AirTupac]

LMFAOOO


"The Celtics traded up for the 13th pick. Ainge had returned from a scouting trip to Greece unconvinced by Giannis. Ainge wanted another international big man. Canada's Olynyk (who ended up being) the 13th player selected. Giannis was still on board.


AINGE AINGE AINGE.

I love Danny Ainge not having success.

Every one slurping how genius he is while he holds on to a million picks and doesn't do anything with it. Trying to find another Tatum.

Hoarder Danny could have won the Chip with AD. Doesn't have the balls to go for the win like Masai

Only Boston fans think this guy is a genius. But everything he's done other than the Brooklyn heist has been quite pathetic.

1) Worst max contracts in the league
2) Let Horford walk
3) Let Baynes walk (Now he has no big man except Theis and Kanter)
4) Wont pull the trigger on a big move
5) Does his stars dirty (thus ruining the culture)


Like what?? He's not good enough. Brad falls in the same vein but he's still a lot better than Ainge in their respective jobs. Boston media and fans overrate the **** out of their staff.

If he's such a shitty GM, why are you thinking of him this early in the day?

This thread is literally the first this morning...

Almost 20k posts in less time here, and I'm the nerd?

Here's a bit of reality for you. Danny Ainge may be the absolute worse GM in your eyes, but he will still be forever more successful than you. How do I know this? He's on your mind this early (what 6AM for you?) not the other way around.

Trust me, you're not triggering me and you def. are not triggering him.

Gotta say your anti Ainge thing is one of the more unusual sports world hatings I’ve seen. I never see anyone else even bring up Danny Ainge. I’m not sure I’ve heard his name spoken in person in 3-4 years. If someone came up to me trying to talk shit about like....their issues with Ozzie Newsome or some other random executive in sports I wouldn’t even know what to do.

Who has beef with the GM of another team?

Maybe you clown one like Bill O’Brien for trading Hopkins or whatever but years and years of topics and arguing?

For a guy who won a ring, narrowly lost another, and flipped that for a new team that has been in the last 4 teams standing 3 of the last 4-5 years?

What is there to even talk about?

Not winning again?

Teams go 50 years without winning once. Hell the Clippers have not played a conference finals game in 50 years.

The Celtics have been pretty successful during his run while barely being talked about outside rumors.

If you’re told hiring Ainge gets you the 15 or whatever years they have had most teams would jump at it. It would be the best 15 year stretch most franchises ever had wouldn’t it?

1 ring, 2 finals, and 5 or 6 conference finals?

Not....bad.

Better than the Bulls the last 20 years. I’d be happy to get an Ainge like run. I’d be pretty satisfied all things considered. You always want more winning but...being realistic? You gotta sign up for a ring and a lot of deep runs. You’re doing your job if you produce that as a gm. Especially with 3 distinct rosters.

Whats the origin of this beef? I’m genuinely curious.

[pandiani17]

This. Stuff like this happens to GMs all the time. With so many prospects and so many drafts, if you do a research you will come up with lots of good players all of them missed.

And this. I get amazed how people in this forum (well, or maybe it's a just a few who make a lot of noise) criticize Boston's current situation. They have made the ECF three out of four times in the last four years, and they have a very good young core who will keep them in the playoffs for a decade or so. Yes, some Eastern Conference teams have moved and got better in the off-season, but it's not as if the Celtics are in the position they were in the 90s, when they were as far as success as they have ever been. They are going in the right direction.

[tpols]

Giannis looked skinnier than Durant or Ingram at that time... nobody could've thought he would've morphed into Shaq with that frame. In fact, there's absolutely no doubt he had to have taken a shit load of HGH, test, and other PED's to get that big. Look at Kevin Durant or Scottie Pippen or KG or a lot of other really skinny players when they were young... none of them ever made a physical leap like Giannis did. He juiced out of this world.

[Kblaze8855]

Giannis transformation isn’t as drastic as a number of people I’ve known. Naturally they weren’t 6’10” which makes it difficult with the lanky frame but he’s not really that big. He’s skinny plus muscle. He didn’t morph into Shaq. I’ve seenShaq in person. Shaq makes huge people look small. He doesn’t look like a norma 7 footer. Giannis is a skinny kid who moved into the weight room but already had the tools....shoulders and all. He’s a natural athlete.

Hes basketball player buff not gym freak buff. He’d look normal in a golds gym aside from his height. Lebron too. Karl Malone as well.

They look downright birdchested around real freaks like say...wrestlers. Karl Malone looked skinny in a wcw ring with even old Hogan at times.

They seem more muscle bound than they are in basketball because everyone else is skinny and people focus on action shots of flexing. Meeting Giannis you wouldn’t think “Damn...that guy is muscular”. His height would stand out before his build in person.

[AirTupac]

Its just funny that moron Loston fans think he and Brad are amazing. Ainge is average, maybe a little above average AT BEST. Thats all. Nothing more to it Kblaze.

How can I come up with my own Danny Ainge source/news? God you are so retarded lmfao.

Ingram has a higher ceiling than Booker and Jaylen. He'll flourish now that Holiday isn't there to freeze him out on offense.

[Vino24]

Olynyk has scored more points than Giannis in the finals

Thats true for both. But the more important thing is dbugz isnt retarded enough to say that any of his players are better than the Lakers because he knows its a losing argument. Instead he keeps spamming pelicans as if thats some sort of win. My dear boy is lost :oldlol:

Of course not. Celtics had a 1-year championship window with the Giannis injury and Miami upsetting the Bucks, now they can either go all in with moving Kemba and/or Hayward for a Beal/Westbrook to contend with Bucks/Nets/Heat but I doubt they'd land anyone better tbh, no one wants to go to Boston. :lol

Kemba and Hayward are top tier MAX contracts. Kblaze you may be right that a lot of teams might enjoy Ainge but for fans and teams that expect to win something substantial, he has not done enough. Sure for the Hornets, Pistons, Kings etc. he would be amazing for them because they are used to being garbage. However, for franchises who want to win... you cant possibly be serious and tell me hes done a good job with what he's had at his disposal... What some ECF appearances in a weak east? Thats good enough? Sure for some...

You have to admit they've had bad luck with the Irving & Hayward injuries though, they'd have made the Finals at least once in this window. Still, no A-list star wants to go to Boston, I feel like they could put together the best deal for Harden but he'd never go there.

Obviously hindsight is 20/20 but even the Kemba and Hayward contract was retarded when it happened. Now he was trying to offload Kemba to anyone? 1 year after Kemba signed? Hmm another example of him treating his stars poorly and no one wanting to play for them. I love shitting on the celtics and highlight that morons mistakes is so fun.

AINGE AINGE AINGE.

Ainge is truly a baseball mind

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Jimmer Fredette drafted over Kawhi was even worse. Kawhi should of at least replaced Derrick Williams in that draft.

But yes Ainge seems like an idiot, i don't think he has ever made a great move outside of trading for KG.

[LeCola]

Dude, while your Lakers were drafting Ball and Ingram, he drafted Tatum and Brown with using lower picks. :facepalm

Every player of his is shopped back and forth non stop every day.

Lets Isaiah Thomas play injured because he knows he will never extend the guy.

Bruh we just won the championship and we're going to win more before Boston sniffs a finals appearance despite starting their rebuild much earlier. Good reply though. It worked 0%. PS - Ingram is a much better player than Brown and better than Tatum too.

This is false. The injury Thomas had could have been fixed much sooner with surgery but Thomas elected to play through it because it was a contract year

Look at Presti and how he deals with his stars. Players remember that. Same thing with the Lakers. And you wonder why no one wants to join hick town Boston other than KEMBA and HAYWARD LOL! And Hayward wants to leave ASAP lmfao.


Irving - walked away for free
Horford - walked away for free
Hayward - wants to dip asap



Even the B+ stars want to leave badly.
