don't know if they'll be a better team this year. still haven't gotten a good defensive rebounding, shot blocking big man. and lost their top 2 perimeter defenders in bradley and crowder

might be better but not enough to win a title and gave away a good pick

Baynes will be great for 20 minutes, but you're right they still need another big.

I think Jaylen will make a big step forward this season and playing the 2 he will be a lot bigger than most guys.

Crowder was great at defense two years ago but he has slipped in that department since. I think Morris is an upgrade.

People keep saying the Nets will be a better team but I still see the pick being top 4-7.

Overall I think they made the right move.

Gordon Hayward was a no brain. Did they do a good job of selling him on Boston? Sure. But in the end it was money and a chance to play for a better team.

They overpaid , big time for Irving. Ainge will look foolish if/when the Cavs package that pic for a player like Cousins.

Beyond that they cut a lot of players to make cap space and signed guys to minimum contract.

Ainge's best move of the summer was trading #1 overall for #3 and the Laker/Sac pick.
