When he was having his Hamptons meet up with all the teams trying to recruit him that’s who the Celtics sent. Putting aside that less than stellar star power….
He went on a walk with Tom Brady and came back and told his people that Brady told him to find the best chance to win with the best organization. Just join the best team possible no matter what. He felt like Brady told him to join the Warriors.
Ainge should have maybe got a feel for what Tom was gonna say out there…

Guy telling the story is KDs agent/manager/partner and founded his media company with KD. So it isn’t like…some guy. He was in the room.
Bringing a legend who tells the target to go to the Warriors….
Goat recruit **** up?
Gotta be up there with Doc Rivers telling Tim Duncan’s wife she can’t ride on the plane like the Spurs let her after he had already pretty much decided to come to Orlando and they had been house shopping. Another contender would be George Mikan(commish of the ABA) going to meet with Kareem to talk him into joining the ABA not the NBA and having a $1 million check in his pocket to get it done on behalf of the entire league that chipped in to get that money together and then deciding the meeting was going well enough he didn’t need to take it out of his pocket so he never told Kareem about the money upfront. Kareem later pointed out the money would have decided it because they were gonna let him play at home in New York.
Those are probably the three biggest fumbles I can think of. I you can’t bring some role players and Tom Brady when you don’t even know what Tom Brady is going to recommend. I guess they just assumed he would try to sell them on Boston but….nope.
